How is the Syllabus Validated?
The ICDL is the world’s leading end-user computing skills standard. It is underpinned by documented expert opinion from the world’s leading computer societies and other expert groups. Syllabus content for the ICDL certification programme has been developed with inputs from the ECDL-F expert working groups comprised of professionals with wide-ranging specialist IT skills and through consultation with courseware providers and end-users. The ICDL is based on a single agreed syllabus document. The syllabus lists the facts to be known and the skills that must be mastered for a candidate to achieve the ICDL certification. To maintain the ICDL as the worldwide standard, the ICDL syllabus has evolved over the last six years from Version 1.5 to Version 4.0.
