Advanced (Coming soon)
The European Computer Driving Licence Advanced (ECDLA) is a higher-level programme that builds on the skills covered in the ECDL Core qualification.
ECDL Advanced is the logical progression for Candidates who have achieved the ECDL Core certificate and who wish to further enhance their ICT skills and to demonstrate their competence in using a computer at a higher level.
The ECDL Advanced programme consists of four modules:
- AM3 Word Processing - This module requires Candidates to produce advanced word processing outputs, illustrating sophisticated typographical, formatting and layout presentations, including tables, forms and graphics. Candidates will be required to use tools like macros and advanced mail merge options within the word processing application.
- AM4 Spreadsheets - This module requires Candidates to edit and enhance numeric, text and graphical data, and to sort, query and link data. Candidates will be expected to use logical, statistical and mathematical functions. Ability to use analysis and audit tools is required, as is the ability to record and run macros.
- AM5 Database - This module requires Candidates to use the database to organise, extract, view and report on data using advanced data management skills. Candidates will understand the variety of ways that data can be related and organised, and to import, export and link data.
- AM6 Presentation - This module requires Candidates to understand and apply the principal consideration in planning a presentation. Outputs utilising advanced formatting and layout techniques are required, along with the use of multimedia effects. Candidates will create advanced charts and graphs, and enhance the presentation using drawing and image tools.
The ECDL Advanced modules give Candidates the opportunity to become expert in the use of these applications, acquiring skills sets over and above the routine features of the software.
Benefits of ECDL Advanced
ECDL Advanced Candidates can demonstrate that they are:
- Organised and efficient
- More productive
- Capable of confidently exploiting the full potential of the applications
- Expert at producing attractive, professional-quality outputs
The ECDL Advanced qualification is:
- Internationally-recognised
- A demonstration of certified advanced skills
- Vendor-neutral i.e. applicable to all brands of the relevant software
- Backed by the reputation of the ECDLcertification
How does the ECDL Advanced programme work?
Each Advanced module has been designed as a stand-alone certification in each respective area and Candidates who successfully complete a module will be certified as Advanced users in that application.
When Candidates register to sit for an ECDL Advanced test they purchase an Advanced Registration Number. This is a unique number that is specific for the particular ECDL Advanced test applied for. A unique Advanced Registration Number is required for each ECDL Advanced test. The Advanced Registration Number fee incorporates the issue of the ECDL Advanced certificate.
Advanced Registration Numbers may be purchased from our Test Centre. Unlike the ECDL Core, a separate ECDL Advanced certificate is issued for each successfully completed test.
Syllabi
Each ECDL Advanced module follows a standard syllabus. The syllabi have been developed with inputs from the ECDL Foundation expert working groups and through consultation with courseware providers and end-users.
The ECDL Advanced Syllabi V2.0 are available in PDF format.
