Perhaps you know something about computers, but find it hard to define exactly what your level is. You're confident you can use a PC efficiently, but you can't really prove it. Business requires "basic competence", but what does that mean? And how can you be sure that you have already reached this level?

The ECDL establishes standards for everyone who uses a computer either in a professional or a personal capacity. It is a certificate that verifies your competence and declares your computer skills. European employers all agree on the need for this standard definition of practical competence in Information Technology.
