Designed with teachers in mind

ICDL has been designed for you. Free resources are included for teachers as well as easy set up, online guidance and a friendly support team on hand.

Certification

There are many free resources out there today. But the quality isn’t always guaranteed, assessment is inconsistent and it can be difficult to tell what’s what.

This is where ICDL is different. ICDL certification programmes are designed and approved by academics and industry experts from around the world according to ICDL quality assurance standards. Rigorous test design methodologies mean that students must demonstrate their digital competence in order to earn their ICDL certificate.

Over 1 million people in Ireland have already engaged with ICDL. Hundreds of schools, colleges and universities have adopted ICDL to build and certify their students’ digital skills.
