After becomimg a Full Member of the AAT I decided to study ECDL.I am at present studying ECDL Advanced and was wondering how do I record this in my CPD log and how many hours do I state (College hours are 72weeks at 2.25hours per week).

    Why not do it on a monthly basis say Jan 06 = 9 hours etc?

    What is ECDL by the way?

    Re:CPD Studying

    ECDL is the 'European Computer Driving Licence'of which there are 3 parts.
    Firstly Part 1 and Part 2 consists of 7 modules with exams at the end of each module and 1extra module which is a review of all 7 modules again with an exam at the end.The modules cover Word Processing,Spreadsheets,Microsoft Publisher, E-mail ect.
    Part 3 is ECDL Advanced which covers the main topics in the previous 2 Parts but in much more detail.
    Part 3 consists of 4 Modules of which can be taken seperately or if all the modules are passed you become an 'ECDL Expert' and a member of 'British Computer Society'.Also you can have the letters 'MBCS' after your name.

    Hi

    I would say that the total number of hours spent at college should be sufficent for the log. These could be entered once you have completed the programme or possibly broken down into seperate entries for each module and or level.

    One small point - you get the letters AMBCS after your name.
