ECDL Extra (Level 2 ITQ)

What is this course about?

ECDL has been a benchmark qualification in business and industry for well over ten years. ECDL Extra is the level two qualification which follows on from ECDL Essentials, to be awarded when a learner has successfully completed the assignments for four designated level two units. After Word Processing, Spreadsheets and Presentation Software, Improving Productivity is the final unit to give a learner the full level two ITQ Award.

The first units may be completed in any order, but Improving Productivity must be the last one. Learners will need to register separately for the examination.

Entry Requirements

Learners need to have already achieved three modules of ECDL at level 2.

How is it taught?

Interactive learning software is available for the duration of the registration period, together with course texts. There are weekly (2 hr) workshop sessions with tutor support.

How will I be assessed?

Each unit is examined by an external, on-line examination. The result is immediately available, at the end of the examination.

What else do I need to know?

For those who prefer more taught sessions within the classroom, the NOCN IT qualifications may be more appropriate.

What could I do next?

From here, learners may wish to progress to the Microsoft Office Specialist programme.
