The ECDL was introduced in May 1998 and is a comprehensive, and thorough, computer training programme that aims to provide individuals with a formal qualification that is recognised throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.

Its aims are:

to raise the general level of competency in IT
to improve productivity at work
to enable employers to invest more efficiently in IT
and to ensure that best practice & quality issues are understood & implemented

The syllabus for ECDL has been created to cover key concepts and their application in the workplace. It consists of seven modules, all of which must be passed before the ECDL certificate can be awarded:

Module 1 - Basic Concepts of IT
Module 2 - Using the Computer and Managing Files
Module 3 - Word Processing
Module 4 – Spreadsheets
Module 5 - Database/Filing Systems
Module 6 - Presentation and Drawing
Module 7 - Information Network Services

The British Computer Society - BCS, manages the ECDL certification in the UK.

Once training is completed, a test is conducted at an Accredited Testing Centre for each of the seven modules. Exams typically cost from £10 to £20 for each module, (while there is a one-off cost for the log book of £25). These modules can be taken in any order at any time, or all at once. As candidates pass each Test, their success will be registered in their Log Book, which forms a record of their progress towards attaining the licence. On successful completion of all seven tests, their log book is exchanged for an ECDL Licence.
