Introduction

The International Computer Driving License (ICDL) is a global

program aiming at raising the general level of competence in IT in all sectors of the society and, therefore, promoting life-long e-learning. The main objective of the program is to enhance the basic computer skills giving the learners the opportunity to join effectively the new Information Age and consequently to fulfill the ultimate objective of computer illiteracy.

The ICDL concept is owned by the ICDL/ECDL Foundation, which is a non-profit organization based in Dublin, Ireland. The Foundation was formed to coordinate the introduction and cooperation of the ICDL/ECDL concept throughout the world through a network of Licensees. UNESCO Cairo Office is the ICDL Licensee in Egypt, Jordan, and a number of neighboring countries.

UNESCO Cairo Office, UNESCO Regional Office for Science and Technology for Arab States, adopted the ICDL Program in January 2001 as an ideal alternative towards computer literacy for all.

The ICDL has become a widely recognized qualification in both personal and work-related computer use. The Program is currently featured in over 120 countries worldwide and is offered in more than 25 languages. In the Arab World, UNESCO Cairo Office introduced the Program in 12 Arab States with more than 200.000 registrants, over 500 accredited centers, and more than 50.000 holders of the certification.

Benefits

The ICDL has countless benefits for its holders, organizations, and the society at large. To count a few, ICDL increases knowledge; improves job prospects; and upgrades general IT skills. It also increases productivity, provides a benchmark for employee recruitment, promotion, and retention, and measures training results. With ICDL, the IT skills gap may be reduced and new business opportunities created.

The ICDL is awarded upon completion of 7 Modules ranging from essential concepts of IT, word-processing and spreadsheets to using e-mail and the internet. Through this modular structure, the ICDL provides a flexible learning approach.
