Students with ICT skills perform better in education, are more engaged, and are better prepared for life, the workforce, and further education.

Students that are digitally literate will enjoy an enriched educational experience and will be better prepared for life, for work, and further learning.  Students who use technology as part of the learning process perform better in school, and are more motivated to learn.

It's not simply about confidence and speed which are gained with extensive use of computers in relation to gaming, music and social networking. It's also the skills to effectively work with such things as files, with documents, spreadsheets and presentations or understanding data. Many young people leaving school are now missing formal training in computer use.

Certification to ICDL as a world wide standard not only helps get the skills needed but helps you prove that you indeed have them for further education and for work.
