The Irish Defence Forces have noted the benefits that ICDL brings to their personnel at training institutions, on Naval ships, or on overseas missions.
Discussing the way that ICDL is integrated into the Defence Forces, Flight Sergeant Will Fitzgerald said, “the Defence Forces have an ongoing requirement for its personnel to be highly trained as computer and system users in an environment where competence in IT is essential for mission accomplishment.” … “Validation of [our] competency in IT skills is achieved through the completion of the ICDL programme. A large number of personnel annually undertake ICDL training within numerous Defence Forces Training Institutions / Schools, on board Naval Ships and in overseas mission areas.”
