European Computer Driving Licence/International Computer Driving Licence
With over 5 million participants, the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) is the world's largest vendor-neutral end-user computer skills certification and is internationally recognised as the global benchmark in this area.
ECDL is currently available in 138 countries and has been translated into 32 languages around the world, making it the world's leading certification programme. The programme is known as the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) for countries outside of Europe.
The overall objective of the ECDL programme is to raise the level of core knowledge about Information Technology (IT) and computer skills competency on a global basis and provide an internationally recognised certification.

The ECDL/ICDL consists of seven modules:
1. Basic Concepts of IT
