Benefits of ICDL™ to the INDIVIDUAL
	Participate fully in the Information society
ICDL is the first attempt to recognize the computer competency individuals, and is open to anyone regardless of age, education, experience or background. In the information society, computer literacy is a skill for life -- computer use is an essential skill.
	A reliable and consistent learning structure
ICDL Canada is responsible for certifying test centres, managing the licence validation process and issuing the licences.
	The certification that will be recognized around the world
The ICDL is the most widely recognized, international certification in the field of computer use because it targets the full spectrum of the population and it has the support and supervision of the industry's professionals and educators. Get advanced standing and transfer credit with your ICDL at many institutions of higher education.
	Open Doorways to new Opportunities
Attaining an ICDL can assist people seeking a career change by enabling them to demonstrate their computer use skills. People who are self-taught or who have undertaken application-based courses characterize many Canadian computer users. Now with ICDL there is a credible assessment to validate your computer use skills and give widespread recognition of your abilities.
