PETERBOROUGH City Council's information and communications technology (ICT) training team has been awarded an A grade for the way it delivers an internationally recognised computer qualification.
It follows an annual audit looking at the way staff deliver the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) qualification.
The ECDL is the fastest growing IT user qualification in more than 125 countries. It is designed for people who want to gain a
benchmark qualification in computing to enable them to develop their IT skills and enhance their career prospects.
It is the second time the city council’s ICT training team has attained an A grade in the ECDL audit carried out by the British Computer Society, which is the governing body for ECDL in the UK.
The audit consists of a stringent examination of the council’s testing records and procedures to ensure the council complies with all of the ECDL rules and regulations.
The city council’s ICT training section is one of only a few locally registered test centres offering testing for both ECDL and Advanced ECDL in all four modules – word processing, spreadsheets, databases and presentations.
