European
Computer Driving Licence (ECDL)
What is ECDL?
The European Computer Driving
Licence® (ECDL) is the world’s most sought after computer skills
qualification. More than 6 million
candidates in 146 countries, and over 1 million in
The Tell Organisation prepares
candidates for ECDL by developing the core skills for typical office computing
tasks. Our training is based on the
standard range of Microsoft® programmes, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and
Access.
Why Tell?
Tell has helped over 600 people
achieve ECDL in the last ten years.
Candidates come from multinational companies, the public sector, and a
range of small companies. We understand
what employers are looking for from this qualification – greater personal
effectiveness and staff productivity.
Our ECDL programme is tailored to
this goal. Clients tell us they have
improved computing productivity by anything up to 30%! The vast majority of computer users often go
about standard tasks very inefficiently.
Typical jobs like creating documents, using databases and spreadsheets,
and mail-merges take up a surprising amount of staff time. Productivity savings in these areas are often
significant. Our training targets
efficiency so that candidates produce results in much less time. This means better quality and less costs for
you.
Who is it for?
ECDL can improve personal
effectiveness for anyone who uses a computer for at least 2-3 hours per day, is
self-taught, or who has had little formal training since school.
There are no formal entry
qualifications, but some basic experience of computing and access to Microsoft®
Office applications are required.
How long does it take?
A typical course is delivered over
18 weeks, with a half-day workshop each week.
This allows ample time for tuition, practice and formal exams.
Our courses have a maximum of 10
candidates, allowing high levels of individual tuition. We also offer exceptional support for candidates
who have fallen behind for whatever reason.
This leads to a very high test pass rate.
