IT self help

This is a great IT help page from the University of Wolverhampton. Here you are able to learn the basics of IT and Microsoft software word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook. This is a good start for you who want to continue with the ICDL.

Don’t ignore the basics!

The Stockholm folk high school is introducing ICDL because it is a program designed for the continuous learning world of the 21st century. It does not probe the airy heights of the newest or most complex technology. But ICDL does provide a standard – universally acknowledged level of knowledge from which to move on.

Don’t ignore the basics. Embrace them, and look into ICDL as a mechanism for getting on in your working life and in other parts where you need a computer.

If you are interested in more advanced computer skills we also offer ICDL advanced.
