Study

IT Services offers a range of classroom and self-study courses, but not a specific "ECDL Course" as such. We are trying to offer ECDL students maximum flexibility, allowing exisiting skills to be taken into account.

Classroom courses

Many of the IT courses offered by IT Services are suitable for ECDL candidates. For University of Glasgow staff and postgraduate students courses are free. The fee for external learners or undergraduate students is £60 per half day, £120 per day.
