At school, instead of doing ICT GCSE, we decided (well, our IT teacher did) to do the ECDL (European Computer Driving License) course. This course is also available in many other places and languages (International Computer Driving License). The whole course is taught and tested online (so you can do it anywhere and at any time). Having playing around on my mum's computer for five years and gaining a lot of computer knowledge, I really find the course piss easy! But sometimes, I really hate the course! This is partly due to the fact that they only teach stuff in Windows XP. Come on, you also gotta consider Mac and Linux people! Till now, I just had only one reference to Mac and Linux! I think the course is probably really outdated too, as the go on about floppies and zip drives and use demonstrations from XP Service Pack 1. On the upside though, the course helps you with qualifications and that other crap. In my view, the course is OK, but has to seriously updated and maybe possibly use other OSs. But, actually, I really don't think you need a License to use a computer!!
