How high are the ICDL costs?
What are the ICDL costs (formerly ECDL) - consisting of ICDL course costs, ICDL teaching materials costs, ICDL exam costs and ICDL certificate costs?
The ICDL costs (formerly ECDL) are made up of course costs and examination fees and can vary significantly depending on the provider, type of course and number of modules.
The course costs for ICDL courses in Switzerland are usually in the upper three-digit to mid-four-digit range, depending on the scope, provider and form of teaching (face-to-face, online, blended learning). Shorter courses such as ICDL Base or individual ICDL modules are cheaper than comprehensive courses such as ICDL Standard or ICDL Advanced, in which several modules are completed.
The examination fees are generally charged per module and are usually around CHF 60 to 100 per module, depending on the test center.
In order to take ICDL exams, a one-off ICDL ID is also required, which costs around CHF 140.
ICDL teaching materials (e.g. books or digital learning platforms) usually cost an additional CHF 100 to 200, depending on the provider and module, if they are not already included in the course price.
The costs for the ICDL certificate itself are included in the examination fees.
As prices and the scope of services vary for ICDL course costs, it is advisable to check the exact costs directly with the respective training provider.
