 ECDL is currently being offered as an option to 2nd years and Transition Years.

The European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) is the standard in end-user computer skills,
 offering our students an internationally recognised certification that is supported by
 governments, computer societies, international organisations and commercial corporations
 on a global basis. The ECDL is the world's largest computer skills certification
 programme, with more than 6 million candidates in 146 countries.

ECDL is broken down into seven modules:

The PC Explained (Concepts of Information Technology);
Files & Folders (Using the Computer and Managing Files);
Microsoft Word (Word Processing);
Microsoft Excel (Spreadsheets);
Microsoft Access (Databases);
Microsoft PowerPoint (Presentations);
Internet & E-mail (Information and Communication).

In order to gain an ECDL Certificate each student must pass each of the 7 modules.
