Welcome to Certification Times, the newsletter of The European Computer Driving Licence Foundation Ltd. (ECDL-F). Each issue brings you the latest developments in the world's most recognised computer skills certification, the European / International Computer Driving Licence (ECDL / ICDL).

In this issue, we examine the results of a Lithuanian survey that reveals the merits of IT certification, and we bring you news from the Middle East, where the ICDL GCC Foundation is preparing to roll out the e-Citizen certification programme. We also look at how a US school is improving disadvantaged students' job prospects thanks to the establishment of an ICDL programme. Plus, you'll get an update on developments with ECDL / ICDL across the world, including Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Europe.

If there are topics you'd like to see covered in future issues, please do send your suggestions to info@ecdl.com.
