40 students complete ICDL course

The course was conducted in realisation of the vision of the UAE leadership in spreading the information culture to all members of the society, both nationals as well as expatriates.

A closing ceremony was held recently for the first batch of the students at Safa Public Library. Abdul Rahman Ibrahim, Acting Head of Public Libraries Section, AbdulAziz Al Hajiri, Supervisor of Safa Public Library, the faculty of the ICDL course and other staff in the library were present on the occasion, where certificates were distributed to those who successfully completed the course.

The Centre received good response from the Arabic and non-Arabic speaking public for joining the course and 70 per cent of the participants were women. The participants were divided into several groups according to the convenience of time, language and requirements of the trainees. There were 40 students in the first batch. The ICDL Centre, as part of its annual plans and programmes, is currently providing training and conducting tests to a group of employees of the municipality. This course would be concluded by the end of this month. The Centre will announce the commencement of the new batch following the completion of the upcoming course.
