In May 2008 OPCALIA based in Haute-Normandie introduced the FORMALIA programme dedicated to delivering the European Computer Driving License (ECDL) to SME’s within the Haute-Normandie region of Northern France. The FORMALIA programme makes use of the ECDL programme to increase the quality and efficiency of computer users in local small to medium sized companies.
Annie Grenier, Project Manager at OPCALIA makes the following positive comment: “We started a month ago and we are quite pleased with the acceptance level of the ECDL among small and medium size businesses. We are convinced the ECDL is an added value to both employees and employers alike”. The ECDL certification has been shown to motivate the employee to reach a higher level of recognition and capability while an employer also receives the assurance that his or her employees are mastering necessary computer skills which will help them to more efficiently perform their roles when training is completed.
