WHAT IS ICDL

-
  • "What is the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL)?"
  • ICDL is an internationally recognised qualification that enables people to certify their computer skills to an internationally recognised standard.

  • "What is the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL)?"
  • ECDL is the name given to the ICDL programme in Europe.  

  • "What is ICDL Profile?"
  • ICDL Profile is the name of ICDL's most flexible programme. It allows you to choose the module combinations best suited to your needs and interests. For more see ICDL Profile. 

  • "What is an ICDL Profile Certificate?"
  • You can obtain an ICDL Profile Certificate when you've passed any mix of modules.The different modules that you choose represent your individual ICDL Profile, and when successfully completed, these modules are then listed on your ICDL Profile Certificate.  

  • "Can I complete a module in a different location from where I started?"
  • Yes. Each candidate is given a unique Candidate Registration Number (CRN). This number allows a candidate to complete their ICDL certification at any ICDL Accredited Test Centre worldwide.

  • "What amount of training is required to prepare for ICDL examinations?"
  • There is no set recommended number of teaching hours as this will be dependent on the needs of an individual candidate.

  • "What is the grade required to successfully pass each module?"
  • The pass mark is 75% for all modules.

  • "If I fail a module, when can I re-sit the test?"
  • You can re-sit the test at the next available time at your chosen ICDL Accredited Test Centre (please contact your local test centre as additional fees will be required).

  • "How much do the tests cost?"
  • The exact cost for testing (and for training, if needed), is set by the ICDL Accredited Test Centre itself. Please contact your local test centre directly for pricing information.

  • "Where can I complete my ICDL training tests?"
  • At any ICDL Accredited Test Centre. While most ICDL Accredited Test Centres provide both training and testing, some provide testing only.

  • "How are candidates tested?"
  • Candidates are tested in examination conditions supervised by an ICDL Accredited Tester. Test centres in Africa use automated test systems which automatically assess the candidates performance on completion of each test. Automated Tests provide immediate feedback to both the centre and the candidate. Candidates must complete one test for each module.

  • "Do I have to undergo training prior to taking the tests?"
  • If a candidate feels that he/she will be able to meet the criteria for the tests as set down in the Syllabus he/she can take the tests without the need for training. However, you should be sure that you are ready before sitting the tests.

  • "When can I start the ICDL?"
  • You can start the ICDL at any time by contacting any of the ICDL Accredited Test Centres near you. You are encouraged to undertake training at an ICDL Centre if required. Once you are ready, you may take a test for any of the modules in any order you choose. This may be subject to training or testing schedules set by each test centre.

  • "What are Recommended Profiles?"
  • ECDL Foundation and ICDL Africa recommend certain combinations of modules as globally applicable standards in digital proficiency, these are the ICDL Base, ICDL Standard and ICDL Advanced recommended profiles.

  • "Is training compulsory?"
  • No. If you believe that you already have appropriate IT skills and are sufficiently experienced, candidates can register i.e. purchase a Candidate Registration Number (CRN) and start to take the certification tests. Everyone will have various levels of knowledge and experience and many want to undergo training for the areas where their background may be inadequate. It is recommended that candidates review the ICDL syllabus for more detailed information on the modules and the knowledge needed to pass them.

  • "How do I get a copy of the ICDL Syllabus?"
  • The syllabus for every ICDL module is available for download from the Modules section of this site.

  • "What are Diagnostic Tests?"
  • Diagnostic Tests allow a candidate to go through the testing environment in the same setting as the certification test and assess a candidate's understanding of the particular ICDL module. We recommend a passing rate of 80%+ for the diagnostic test before a candidate is encouraged to sit for the actual ICDL certification test

Shell is a UNIX term for the interactive user interface with an operating system. The shell is the layer of programming that understands and executes the commands a user enters.

LIFE-CYCLE OF C PROGRAM There are at least five phases of execution of  a C language program:- 1. Pre-Processing 2. Compilation 3. Linking 4. Loading 5. Execution   Pre-processing :- Pre-processing is under control of pre-processor directives. It is a program which will be executed automatically before passing the source program to compiler. The pre-processor statements are processed first. All the statements starting with # (pound) symbol are called pre-processor statements. Pre-processor is not a part of C compiler. After pre-processing, there generates a file with .I extension file.( read header file and #include article – coming soon ). Compilation:- The grammatical rules or syntactical validity of the complete program is checked. If there is any error, the location and type of error is reported to the programmer. These are called syntax error. If there is no error, then the compiler generate  object code  and prepare symbolic ta...
