There are two options available for studying an ICDL qualification:

- Instructor lead training - Enroll to an ICDL registered training center, study in a teacher student class environment.
Both options lead to testing by a registered examiner. If you choose 'self-paced study,' you must obtain an ICDL Skills Log Book before contacting an Examiner.
If you choose 'Instructor lead training' then your ICDL training center will provide you with an ICDL Skills Log Book and can help you with arranging an examiner.
In addition to your own study efforts, the ICDL Foundation provides sample tests for the ICDL standard and advanced products that can help you to check your knowledge against the syllabus.
