What is The Computer
Driving Licence?

The Computer
Driving Licence concept was first developed in Finland in 1994 by
the Finnish Computer Society. The concept was then adopted and
further developed by CEPIS, the Council of European Professional
Informatics Societies. Representing over 150,000 experts in 29
computer societies across 17 European countries CEPIS encourages ICT
literacy and promotes acceptance of professional standards for ICT
professionals.
In April 1995 the Users Skills Task Force
(established by CEPIS) investigated the feasibility of developing
the Computer Driving Licence used in Finland as a pan-European
skills test. This feasibility study resulted in the formation of the
ECDL Foundation. Ireland was the location chosen for the Foundation
headquarters.
The ECDL Foundation was set up to organise the
introduction of the ECDL throughout Europe and to supervise its
operation in the countries where the programme has been established.
The ECDL Foundation issues licences to national licensees to use the
ECDL concept and to establish programmes within their own countries.
Within Europe, the national licensee must be a member of
CEPIS.
In 1999 the International Computer Driving Licence
(ICDL) was established. The syllabus of both the ICDL and the ECDL
are the same.
The ECDL Foundation plan to award the ECDL in
all 31 European countries by the end of the year 2000, as well

ECDL/ICDL Syllabus
V3
The long
awaited version 3 of the ECDL/ICDL syllabus is now available. This
syllabus will replace V1.5 over the next few months. It is
anticipated that candidates and centres who have started, or plan to
start, courses using V1.5 will continue to use that version. When
the version 3 EQTB has been finalised, by October of this year,
centres may move over to the new version as soon as they wish. New
Centres (after October) should start with V3.
