ICDL Word Processing case studies

The ICDL Word Processing module (also called ECDL Word Processing in some markets) is a certification of practical word-processing competence. It is aimed at students, job seekers, office staff and anyone who needs to show that they can produce and format professional documents rather than simply claim they can. The syllabus is organised around seven areas: using the application, document creation, formatting, objects, mail merge, prepare outputs and manage documents, with formatting and document creation carrying the most weight. Assessment is typically computer-based and performance-led, so you are asked to carry out real tasks in a word processor instead of only answering theory questions; some providers also include multiple-choice items. The ICDL Word Processing case studies are 5 cases and about 1,756 words.
