How much Training is Required?

People usually take training on each module prior to taking the test, although training is not compulsory. Some candidates may feel competent enough in one area to forego training and move directly to testing, whereas others may require full training before testing. The amount of training needed will depend on the candidate’s existing skills levels prior to commencing training and the type of training - for example, instructor-led or e-learning. Typically the average training time for those without prior experience is approximately 30 hours per module.

Training materials such as text books that have been approved by ICDL GCC Foundation are generally available, enabling individuals to also engage in self-paced learning.
