CEO Statement ECDL Foundation
Sep 09
In 2006, in recognition of our shared commitment to the development of basic IT skills, ECDL Foundation and MCIT formed a partnership to deliver ICDL certification to 1 million individuals in Egypt over 5 years, one of the most comprehensive and visionary of such projects anywhere in the world.
Just as becoming ICDL certified requires ability, commitment and dedication, so too does participating in the implementation of the programme and in Egypt we have partners of the highest calibre in MCIT and UNESCO Cairo Office and in our network of ICDL Accredited Testing Centres in cities and towns throughout the country.
ICDL certification allows individuals and institutions in Egypt to demonstrate their skills according to an internationally recognised standard and, whether you are a student, instructor, examiner or administrator, we welcome you as a valuable part of this global movement.
Damien O’Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer, ECDL Foundation.

| IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ICDL REGISTRATION CODES IN EGYPT |
For the avoidance of doubt, ECDL Foundation would like to confirm that candidate registration numbers worldwide are issued with a country prefix (e.g. ZA for South Africa) generated by the certifying authority in that country.
In Egypt, in order to distinguish administratively between candidates registering on the programme through the MCIT government scholarship scheme and candidates registering via the standard route, two codes are used (EGY and UN respectively).
In each case the standard of examination taken and the certification issued is exactly the same, with the local certifying authority being UNESCO Cairo Office and the international certifying authority being the ECDL Foundation.
Whether an Egyptian candidate is issued with an EGY or UN prefixed number, their qualification is identical to that issued by any other ICDL certifying authority anywhere in the world and will be accepted as such.
