Who are eDCC and what Certification does this represent?
EDCC, the e-Digital Competence Certificate scheme, assesses in electronic office skills, communications and media. The scheme offers over 70 different assessments in computer-based applications such as word processing, spreadsheets, e-mail, digital photography and editing, video production, computer-based presentations, desktop publishing and web site design.
The scheme is competence based and requires no formal study, though many Colleges of Further Education and
community centres accredited by us offer courses, which teach the skills required for the award of certificates. These
certificates are widely recognised by educational institutions and employers.
eDCC is accredited by OCR (Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examination Board) - www.ocr.org.uk - a leading UK
awarding body which conducts regular assessments of the eDCC scheme and teaching centres to ensure that both
continue to meet its strict standards. This ensures that eDCC certificates offer recipients the means of demonstrating
to potential employers, or clients, that they have the relevant computer literacy skills for the job or instruction on offer.
