The ECDL sets a standard for everyone who uses a computer in either a professional or personal capacity. It is a certificate that proves competence in computer use, making the holder readily mobile within Ireland and internationally. Employers and job seekers all agree on the importance of this standard definition of practical competence in Information Technology.

Following on the success of ECDL, and in response to demand from ECDL holders and test centres, the ECDL Foundation launched the Advanced ECDL Programme in 2000.
The ECDL Advanced Programme is now complete and the ECDL Foundation now provides a syllabus and a Question Test Base in four modules, Word Processing (AM3), Spreadsheets (AM4), Database ((AM5) and Presentations (AM6).
