Target Group
Candidates need to have a basic working knowledge
of computers.
Course Overview
ECDL START is suitable for individuals who would like
to have their computer skills certified at an officially
recognised level but feel that doing the full ECDL
programme is a big undertaking in time and resources.
This certificate is called ECDL START and is awarded
by ECDL Ireland. The cert will be awarded to individuals
who have 4 ECDL exams completed.
This new course allows individuals to breakdown the
ECDL qualification in to two blocks and allows companies
and individuals to commit to ECDL on a more reduced
basis.
ECDL Start offers training and certification in all
the popular workplace programs. And candidates can
complete the three remaining ECDL exams at their convenience
if they decide to go for the full ECDL qualification
at a later date. ECDL START covers Microsoft Word,
Microsoft Excel, Internet and Email. It also includes
a straightforward short paper on IT Theory.
Participants will qualify in 4 ECDL modules and hold
an ECDL START Certificate at the end of the course.
