The European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) is THE internationally recognized certificate of computing skills. It provides objective proof that the holder has achieved a standard of competence in the most common business applications. Employers are increasingly relying on the ECDL to validate training courses and to recruit computer-literate staff. Passing the ECDL will improve your computing skills in all areas – and allow you to prove it to current and prospective employers.

All of the questions and exercises have been designed to allow you to assess your progress with your learning and to helpyou to prepare for – AND PASS – the ECDL Exam with confidence.
Features include:
• Exercises that increase in complexity throughout each module, enabling you to assess your current level of knowledge and gradually build up all of the skills and knowledge needed to pass the exam
• A checklist before each exercise or set of exercises sets out the skills required in order to be able to complete them successfully
• Each exercise is cross-referenced back to the ECDL syllabus
• Model answers help you to check your work
• Covers Microsoft Office 97 & Office 2000
