IC3

The Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC3) ® program is the world’s first digital literacy training and certification program, and the only globally validated computer literacy credential. IC3 consists of three individual modules:

1. Computing Fundamentals

2. Key Applications

Each exam covers a different and significant area of digital literacy. Together they form a composite of the knowledge and skills everyone requires to be digitally successful in the 21st Century. IC3 has been embraced all over the world, in schools, colleges, workforce development, government and commercial businesses.
