ECDL UPDATE is a certification which was developed to facilitate the re-certification of the skills of ECDL holders who have held their licences for some time. With the ever-changing needs of modern society and the 21st century workplace, an individual’s skills certification must be up-to-date to maintain its value. Advances in technology inform the ECDL syllabus content and ECDL UPDATE demonstrates the commitment of ECDL holders to show their continuing skills competence.

ECDL UPDATE is a certification which is awarded on the basis of passing a single test which examines all seven modules of ECDL. Currently, it is based on Syllabus Version 4.0 and any item on that syllabus can be assessed on an ECDL UPDATE test. Because ECDL UPDATE tests all 7 ECDL modules in a single test, re-certification is fast and easy.
