ITQ Certification Package

Without basic computer skills one can be quite cumbersome in the office, limiting their roles and value. Some employers or companies may not even consider you as a candidate without a reasonable level of computer skills. The ECDL certification training is designed for novices or casual computer users that will take learners to a high computer literacy standard by improving your knowledge on these key areas:

Presentations (PowerPoint)
Spreadsheets (Excel)
Word Processing (Word)
Databases (Access)
Bonus Module - MOS Excel 2016*
The approximate study time for the ECDL course (excluding the MOS Excel 2016) is 40 hours.

Our ECDL Online Course has been updated and is brand new for 2020 and features the latest version of Windows and Microsoft Office so that you are learning the most up to date features and get the most relevant information.

By gaining an ECDL certification you or staff in your company will become more confident and efficient in using computers and the ‘industry standard’ Windows programmes such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint as well as greater employee motivation, increased productivity and reducing time wasted on solving computer related tasks. An extensive number of companies in the UK have already set ECDL as the benchmark for computer skills, including NHS, HSBC and Sainsburys.

Microsoft Office taught programs, as part of the ECDL training package – i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint - will help advance your career by giving you a crucial competitive edge for achieving success. Studies show that employers are more likely to hire candidates with these computer skills.
