[kictanet] ICDL - I apologise

[robert yawe]

Hi,

I would like to apologise to Dr. Ndemo for giving the impression that his team 
had not done their homework when they recommended that ICDL be the official 
computer proficiency certification.

As is said it is only after you have walked in a man's shoes can you then 
criticise him, I recently looked at a training manual from one of the local 
computer colleges that was 10 pages long and covered word, excel, powerpoint, 
access, frontpage and IE. The exam for each subject was done after 1 day of 
training, in the case of word it included mailmerge.

Each application was covered on less than 2 pages and the entire course takes 10 
days, Dr. Ndemo the sooner you can operationalise the ICDL issue the sooner 
students will stop loosing money to quacks and we shall return to the point of 
making computer users truly IT proficient.

Regards
