ICDL – International Certification of Digital Literacy
The Archbishop’s Seminary is an accredited ICDL Centre (formerly known as ECDL) and therefore can officially hold ICDL courses, and hold official ICDL tests.
ECDL is the name that was given to the ICDL Certification programme in Europe, however, in 2020 the name was updated to become known as ICDL globally.
