Almost everyone claims that they can use a computer.

But what does this really indicate to prospective employers? It could mean that you know the basics…or you could be a highly proficient user with advanced skills.

To help you demonstrate your level of proficiency in the most commonly used business applications you could add an ECDL certificate to your list of achievments.

Available at intermediate and advanced level, certification can help you stand out from the crowd with prospective employers – whether you are looking for a work during the holidays or a permanent post.

Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh campus) is a test centre for both ECDL and ECDL Advanced – see http://www.hw.ac.uk/is/skills-development/ecdladvanced-ecdl.htm for more information.

Staff and students can register by completing the registration form.
