Overview

The International Computer Driving Licence Advanced qualifications are recognised individually demonstrating the application of a specific range of IT user skills and knowledge in the workplace, meeting employer workforce demands.

There are three self study ICDL Advanced units and you can obtain a standalone qualification in any one of them.

Course detail

Employers recognise the ICDL brand which is an internationally recognised qualification. Completing an Advanced ICDL module whether in Word processing, Spreadsheets, PowerPoint or Database software will show an employer that you are a proficient user across the Microsoft Office Suite.

Available ICDL Advanced qualifications (self study):

  • Word Processing;
  • Spreadsheet Software;
  • Presentation Software;
  • Database Software;

You can obtain a standalone qualification in any of the above three ICDL Advanced units.

Word Processing

With this unit, learners can demonstrate their ability to use the advanced features of word processing applications to enhance their work, improve productivity and save time.

Spreadsheet Software

This unit gives learners the opportunity to bring their spreadsheet skills to an expert level. This allows them to use the full potential of the spreadsheet application to produce higher-quality management information.

Presentation Software

This unit is a vital tool for learners who wish to create effective, high-impact presentations using advanced features, and those who need to be able to prove their skills in this area.
