Computing Programmes (ages 7-17)

At the ELC Computing Department we offer computer lessons for children who are passionate about the technology of the future in a world where everything is computerized.

FOR KIDS (AGES ABOVE 7)
Kids that do computing lessons at a young age feel comfortable using a computer as a learning tool for their school’s projects and not only as a gaming device. Kids will learn how to work with word processor and image editor and how to create animations. They will also be able to prepare presentations and obtain programming skills.

FOR TEENAGERS (AGES ABOVE 10)
We offer the full range of ECDL which is an internationally recognized standard of competence and a widely acceptable certificate that asserts that the holder has the knowledge and skills needed to use the most common computer applications efficiently and productively in the workplace and at home.

Why ECDL

• It is recognized by governments, national and international organizations, bodies, associations, as well as by academic and professional communities. In Cyprus, it is considered by banks, semi-governmental organizations, private companies, and the University of Cyprus as an additional qualification and, therefore, an advantage when recruiting staff.
• It is the only IT Skills Certification Programme established and developed by the Council of European Professional Informatics Scientists (CEPIS), supported by 45 international associations of computing and 400,000 IT professionals.
• It holds international recognition and undoubtedly has the widest recognition and applicability in the Cypriot, European, and international labour markets.
• It is an acceptable international professional and academic qualification.

COMPUTING – CODING (AGES ABOVE 14)
The Computing module introduces essential concepts and skills related to computational thinking and coding for creating computer programs. It covers core techniques of computational thinking, such as problem decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms, as well as practical skills in coding.
