A new textbook outlining the entire ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) course has been published in Ireland. ECDL: The Complete Coursebook covers all the syllabus information necessary for the qualification in computer and Internet skills recognised by employers across Europe.

Written by Mr Brendan Munnelly, with Mr Paul Holden, Ms Siobhan Ni Chulachain, Mr Peter Hillary and Mr John Fleming, the book features easily explained jargon-free instructions penned by expert computer professionals, writers and trainers.

Each section begins with a list of learning objectives and ends with a summary of the critical information it is essential to know. There are 150 simple exercises to help hone ECDL exam-passing skills. Short cuts and insider tips have also been drawn from the real experiences of computer professionals. A related website (www.gillmacmillan.ie/ecdl) will also feature updates to the ECDL syllabus as they arise. The book retails at £16.99
