Certification
If registering for the ICDL® (formerly PCIE®) certification option, you must do so at the same time as course registration. The exam is in the form of a 35-minute test. It has 36 questions, and your score indicates your skill level. At least 75% correct answers are needed to pass. Merely taking the course is not sufficient to achieve a maximum score. The exam must be both scheduled and then taken online within 4 weeks following the start of your session, under the supervision of an ORSYS approved examiner.

A very competent trainer; the support was excellent and we were given a handbook to help us put what we’d learnt into practice

Plenty of practical work and an instructor who listens. However, the balance between demonstration time and practice time could be improved, and certain elements for the exercises (such as task lists or lists of names) would benefit from being shared in advance to avoid transcription errors.
