Abstract
The European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) is an international standard of competence for computer users. The ECDL establishes standards for everyone who uses a computer in either a professional or a personal capacity. It is a certificate that verifies competence, declares computer skills and makes the holder readily mobile within business across the European Community. The challenge is to introduce a credible skill certification scheme covering a wide geographical area while still retaining its relevance and quality to local populations.
