Why take this course?

The European Computer Driving Licence has recently rebranded and is known as the International Certification of Digital Literacy – ICDL for short.

It is the internationally recognised qualification for computer users, and is widely recognised by employers as proof of ability and competence when working with IT.

The Advanced ICDL Word Processing course (Module AM3) is a high-level certification programme through which candidates can demonstrate their ability to use the advanced features of word processing applications to enhance their work, improve productivity and save time. Completion of this module will enable candidates to demonstrate professionalism in the creation, production, review, and distribution of documents. The benefits of this module include:

• Allows users to become more confident, efficient and effective in using a word processing application
• Proves mastery of the application
• Enables users to produce and manage large, complex word processing outputs
• Improves user’s productivity and saves time
• Developed with input from computer users, subject matter experts and practising computer professionals from all over the world. This process ensures the relevance and range of module content

This Advanced ICDL course is a Level 3 qualification (QCF) – roughly equivalent to SCQF Level 6 in Scotland – and is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS). Please note that although there are four Advanced ICDL Modules and these can enrolled on, completed and certified independently of each other, you only need to complete all four modules if you choose to.
