Customer Reviews

Helpful and clear
This book was a great help to me. I was in a tutor lead class for ecdl but I felt that I still needed more to make sure that I pass each module. Some modules are very hard like Database and spreadsheets, if I didnt have this book to go over and practice the examples, I dont think that I would have passed.
Everything is clear and easy to follow, it almost reads as an idiot guide which is a good thing.
I would recommend this to anyone that needs the extra help on those tricky modules.

Practical Exercises
As a tutor, I have found this book really useful for the students before sitting their assessment. Students can check their answers with the back of the book and ask the tutor for additional help if needed.

I fully recommend this book to other students.

Good but poor answers
I read the book and i believe that has very poor answers. Only one picture for answer. It isn't enough to understand. The ECDL candidate needs more help. Thank you.
