Certification Assessments
Candidates attempt module tests of 60 minutes duration in the following subject areas:
- Word Processing
- Spreadsheets
- Presentations
- Databases
The certification tests allow candidates to carry out activities within the live application itself, whether that’s Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Access, and the system then automatically judges whether they have achieved the required outcome. This immediately overcomes the limitations of questions based upon simulations or multiple-choice, and allows candidates to show their true knowledge and skills.
Mock/Diagnostic Assessments (optional)
Candidates have the choice to sit mock assessments in the following areas:
- Word Processing
- Spreadsheets
- Presentations
- Databases
Each mock assessment contains approximately 60 questions (will vary depending on the type of exam) and has no time limit. These online tests have a detailed “Results Page” that provides extensive feedback to the candidates on all incorrectly answered questions, including a suggested solution for each, which significantly enhances the learning effect of these tests.
This course includes:
- Training from a certified ECDL trainer
- Computer / Laptop to use for the duration of the course
