The School’s Computer Dimension

At the C.B.S., students benefit from access to the school’s modern computer facility:

· All students receive weekly tuition in the use of computers.

· All students will have the opportunity to acquire a European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) qualification.

The European Computer Driving Licence establishes standards for everyone who uses a computer in either a professional or a personal capacity. The modules taught for the ECDL are:

Ø Basic Concepts of Information Technology

Ø Using a Computer and Managing Files

Ø Word Processing

Ø Spreadsheets

Ø Databases/Filing Systems

Ø Presentation and Drawing

Ø Information Network Services
(including Internet and e-mail)

The C.B.S. has become an accredited ECDL Test Centre (accredited by ECDL Ireland).

This will enable our students to possess an internationally recognised qualification in computers.

Large multinationals have already adopted the licence, setting it as the performance benchmark they expect from their employees. The European Computer Driving Licence:

Ø Opens the door to career opportunities.
Ø Prepares students for full participation in the Information Society.
Ø Power-steers participants into the technological future.
