Computer Skills
The ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) is an entry-level computer certification designed to demonstrate a user’s competence in all-round computer use within a typical office-like environment (outside of Europe, the ECDL is known as the ICDL (International Computer Driving Licence), and apart from the name, there is no difference between the two). As an entry-level computer certification, no prior computer experience is necessary to study for the ECDL certification.
ECDL can be studied anywhere you have access to the internet. Exams can be taken at our centre in Osu Ako-Adjei in Accra or at an approved ECDL training centre. As well as the online courses learners are issued with training workbook containing exam practice papers which are submitted and marked by our trainers. Feedback is given by email or telephone.
