ICDL stands for International Computer Driving License: it is the international standard in digital skills certification.
ICDL PROFILE
Everyone uses technology for different reasons-which is why everyone has their own ICDL Profile.

An ICDL Profile is for your life. You can build on it over time, as you update your skills, as technology evolves or when modules are developed.
Your ICDL Profile grows with you. It never expires, and will always be proof of your skills and lifelong learning
