ICDL – International Computer Driving License

INTRODUCTION: The ICDL Concept :

The name, idea and plans for an International Computer Driving License and related certifications of IT competency; extended and improved Manual Question and Test Bases; the idea and substance of the ICDL Syllabus and other ICDL Syllabi; concepts of computer aided or automated procedures for testing, grading and administering ICDL tests; Trade Marks; and related Quality Assurance Standards, as modified by ECDL-F from time to time.

Obtaining ICDL certification is simple:

1. Visit The ICDL center – Future Technologies / Aptech Uganda in the case of Uganda.
2. Upon registration, the candidate receives an ICDL Skills Log Book from ICDL. (Without the ICDL Skills Log Book, there can be no ICDL training, testing or certificate.)
3. The candidate receives training as per ICDL syllabus, and registers for examination at the same center. Each candidate is issued with the ICDL training materials as well.
4. After presenting the Skills Log Book and corresponding ID, obtained from the ICDL training, the candidate writes the test for that module at ICDL Test Centre at Aptech Uganda under the supervision of an ICDL accredited Test Supervisor or Examiner.
5. Once the candidate has passed all 7 modules, the Skills Log Book is sent to the CDL along with a copy of the student’s identity document, and the ICDL issues the appropriate ICDL certificate through Aptech Uganda.
6. Anyone who completes at least four modules (any four) can submit their Skills Log Book for an ICDL START Certificate
