Testimonial
I completed the online ICDL Course with Coventry University and found it very well organised and easy to access. The resources were of an excellent standard with helpful videos, PowerPoints and lots of example documents that were great for practice. I completed the tests remotely without any issues and Kafilat and Stephanie were always very quick to respond to any queries that I had. Overall, I found the course good value for money and would highly recommend Coventry University to anyone seeking to complete the ICDL
