What to Teach - The Syllabus

Each ECDL Approved Test Centre is responsible to use the official ECDL Syllabus of each of the ECDL products for training its clients and students. The Centre is responsible for covering fully the whole Syllabus while at the same time additional exercises and sample practice tests must be presented. 

Trainers & Training Methods

ECDL Cyprus recommends that all ECDL Trainers are holders of University Degrees in a Computing related field and holders of the ECDL CTP - Certified Training Professional qualification.

The ECDL CTP ensures that the trainer has achieved a minimum quality level of training, skills and expertise that is required in order to deliver high quality ECDL training.

The ECDL Secretariat is not particularly concerned with the methods of training used by the ECDL Training Centers. The decision as to which training method(s) to use is upto the Centre and the trainers. Training methods may vary from teacher-led-training, computer-based-training, Internet-based-training, self-learning, blended-learning or any combination of these methods.

Training Materials

The Approved ECDL Test Centrre is responsible for the use of authentic training materials that have been developed internally at the Centre or purchased from the market. ECDL Cyprus will strictly enforce the laws of the Republic of Cyprus in case that an ECDL Approved Test Centre is found to be using, distributing or maintaining unauthorised training materials.
