Dear friend,

The International Computer Driving Licence (or ICDL) is the world's No. 1 basic computer skills qualification, and it is now available in Zambia. You will be hearing a lot more about the ICDL!

The ICDL has been adopted by corporations, schools, the tertiary sector and community organizations. I am delighted to announce the most recent additions to the ICDL family in Zambia:

1. Zambian Institute of Mass Communications (ZAMCOM) will be offering short courses covering the ICDL syllabus from their training centre at Ridgeway.

2.  SDV Zambia, an international logistics firm, has become the first company in Zambia to have accredited their in-house staff development programme.

3. The National In-Service Teachers College (NISTCOL) in Chalimbana will be offering ICDL accredited courses to serving teachers and Ministry of Education personnel

To find out how to obtain or to offer the ICDL please see our website www.icdl.org.zm or at any time you can text the word 'ICDL' to 888 to receive up-to-date information.

If you have any queries about how to offer or to take the ICDL qualification in Zambia, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

Best wishes,

Anne Johnson

Country Coordinator
