ICDL programs are for anyone who wishes to become fully competent in the use of a computer
and common applications.
Each ICDL module provides a practical program of up-to-date skills and knowledge areas which
are validated by a test.

What are ICDL Certification Programs?
ICDL certification programs consist of modules which define the skills and competencies
necessary to be a proficient
user of a computer and common computer applications. Each ICDL module provides
a practical program of up-to-date skills and knowledge areas which are validated by a test.
There are seven ICDL modules in total.

ICDL Base Certification (previously ICDL Start):
For an individual to achieve a solid base of skills and knowledge,
therefore attaining a minimum level of digital literacy, we recommend that
candidates complete
and attain certification in a minimum of four ICDL modules to achieve ICDL Base,
which represents the
base standard of digital literacy. Although these are the recommended modules,
other combinations of four modules are acceptable.

ICDL Standard Certification (previously ICDL): ICDL Standard is the international
standard in end-user computer skills.
Our collective experience in implementing certification programs across education systems and
government administrations has demonstrated that for a recommended level of Information
Communication Technology (ICT)
competence to be achieved which would enable effective employability, an ICDL Standard
Certification is appropriate.
To receive the ICDL Standard Certificate,
which represents the standard of digital competence, seven modules must be taken.
