ECDL Base
M. Wańkowicz Private High School has become a certified ECDL Educational Laboratory. Thanks to this, students at our school can take the exam, the aim of which is to obtain the European Computer Driving License (ECDL). This certificate proves that you have basic skills in using a personal computer and is uniform throughout the European Union.
The Computer Certificate Initiative was established in 1992 in Finland. The first Computer Skills Certificate was issued in 1994. By mid-1996, in Finland, which had a population of approximately 5 million, more than 10,000 people had already had ECDL. Ultimately, the Finns assume that about a million people will pass the exams, i.e. every fifth Finnish citizen. Later, this initiative spread throughout the European Union. The rules of the examination are identical in every member state.
The ECDL certificate certifies that its holder is able to properly perform tasks on a personal computer: edit texts, use spreadsheets and use computer networks. The control of these skills is carried out in 4 exams - covering the following areas of microcomputer and information technology applications:
- Basics of working with a computer,
- Basics of networking,
- Text processing,
- Spreadsheets.
These examinations test the basic skills needed both in professional work and, increasingly, in the everyday life of every European citizen.
Good luck to candidates!
