 Welcome to certification times, the quarterly newsletter of The European Computer Driving Licence Foundation Ltd. (ECDL-F). We had a tremendous response to the inaugural issue in December 2002 and look forward to bringing you more information about how the European / International Computer Driving Licence (ECDL / ICDL) is making it possible for everyone to share in the benefits of Information Technology.
In this issue, we look at the continuing rapid acceptance of ECDL / ICDL worldwide, including a feature on ECDL's adoption in Italian schools, and information on how leading organisations are putting the certification to work to help staff become more capable and efficient when using computers. Please send your thoughts to times@ecdl.com and for updates on what's new with ECDL / ICDL throughout the year, visit us online at www.ecdl.com.
