Employers need people who can contribute to achieving goals in the most efficient and productive way. ECDL gives you the computer skills to do this. That’s why it is recognised and valued by companies around the world as the benchmark in IT user competence. Over 2 million people have taken ECDL in the UK alone. (Source: BCS – The Chartered Institute for IT).
1. Employers Want ECDL: Employers want you to have ECDL because they recognise that you have an essential life skill, i.e. the ability to use a computer effectively. Whatever your age, when you develop your computer skills you are demonstrating that you have developed your knowledge, understand, and expertise in using technology to improve your personal and professional lives. Professionally, the ECDL qualification makes you more attractive to employers and increases your ability to communicate and access information and services in your personal life.
2. Core IT User Skills: ECDL qualification covers the Core IT User skills and applications that are commonly used in many organisations throughout the world. When you complete the qualification you will improve your basic IT skills and understanding of IT applications.

3.
