Well done to all those learners who’ve ’survived’ the first week’s training — always a lot to take in!
Anyone who missed the workshop on Thusday afternoon, using the blog for reflecting on your learning should use the first session on Monday morning to complete the writing frame and blog post.

Cheers for our new ECDL students – Tracey, Haili, Joel, Chanda, John and Anthony and I’m looking forward to our working together on your ECDL qualification.
Just to re-cap:
1. As a rule of thumb, within your first month of studies, you should pass 3 exams for Module 1 – Security, Module 2 – Fundamentals and Module 7 – Emails and Internet.
2. Passing mark for each exam is 75% or:
Module 1 – Security — 36 Total Questions; Pass mark is 27 out of 36.
Module 2 – Fundamentals – 32 Total Questions; Pass mark is 24 out of 32.
Module 7 – Emails & Internet – 32 Total Questions; Pass mark is 24 out of 32.
If you have any other questions or need any further assistance, please just let me know
Elena :)
