ECDL courses

3 replies

Oohhaveabanana · 06/02/2021 15:54

I am currently job hunting and several positions have put having a ECDL as a desirable qualification. Has anyone completed this qualification? Did you do a face-to-face course or do it online? Would you recommend it?
I think it would be useful, but looking into it, there are so many different places offering courses at different prices and I'm confusing myself! I also don't want to pay all that money if it's not going to be of benefit. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

It took me about 6hrs in total to complete it, but I wasn't an absolute beginner, my employer at the time paid for it and it was an afternoon off once a week. Do it online in as fast a time as possible. If you are claiming Universal Credit, ask if they will contribute towards the cost.

Did it years ago as CPD (I'm a teacher in a college so did it on site)

It aas beyond boring and the only things I use from it are keyboard shortcuts

Do it online if you can. You just follow online tutorials and do exercises anyway.

Sneaky bump, hoping someone has some advice.
