The South African non-profit organisation Accredited Test Centres (ATCs) awards computer schools in Southern Africa a certificate. These computer schools are then considered as accredited test centres, who are authorized to provide training for and administer the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL). They are listed as such on the ATC’s website. Since 17 June 2019, the computer school in Gobabis by steps for children has also been included.
You can now search for test centres on the ICDL website and find us on the map in Gobabis. An important step towards bringing more people into our schools. The recognition of the steps Computer School strengthens the project and generates greater reach, and thus additional income.
Peik Bruns, National Coordinator for steps for children in Namibia, is enthusiastic: “Congratulations to steps Gobabis – and especially to the steps Computer School. It was rated ‘excellent’. Achieving this took a great deal of work, and everyone who contributed deserves great applause. Since steps wants to set standards and be regarded as a quality service provider, this is a very encouraging development!”
In 2014, the head of the computer school in Gobabis, Noubert Louw, passed the ICDL examination and has been allowed to administer this test ever since. He has already trained many people in the various programs such as PowerPoint, Excel, Word, etc., so that they can then take the ICDL. But only with the current recognition is the computer school registered to also administer the final ICDL exam. Incidentally, it is the only full-fledged ICDL centre in eastern Namibia!
We, too, would like to say bravo and extend our heartfelt thanks to the employees who devoted a great deal of time and effort to this lengthy process!
Help us, too, with the further training of our employees!
Depending on the training course, the costs range from 700 to 1,700 euros per year.
