ECDL Module 5

Databases

The ECDL Module 5 exam covers the basics of typical desktop database applications such as Microsoft Access (candidates are not limited to using only Microsoft products, but Access is the most widely used. Check with your testing centre if you wish to be tested with another application). While in-depth knowledge of database structure and construction is not required to successfully pass the ECDL database exam, candidates should be competent enough to create a simple database, create and modify tables and queries, as well as being able to produce basic forms and reports. Knowledge on how to relate tables together and query the data in the database is essential, as well as being able to sort the results using the tools available in the database application.

To pass the ECDL Module 5 exam, a candidate must score at least 24 marks from a possible 32 (75%).
