MOS - IC DAC/IC3
New technology is radically changing the way we work, communicate, interact, and learn. A world with instant access to information and services no longer mandates physical presence in one place.
Web 2.0 represents a new way of using the internet, no longer as simple users but as co-authors. The Information Technology Skills course (not to be confused with the Internet Technology course) aims to provide students with a general understanding of the most common Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, Power Point and Access. The course will also prepare students to "live the internet" with a full understanding of both the advantages and the dangers. Students are guided towards a level of "autonomous awareness" where they will be able to move without difficulty through the technological jungle that has become an inevitable part of most daily work routines.
The course programme consists of the same syllabus that is required for the IC3 (Internet and Computing Core Certification - Website).
In this way, following just one course, the student covers all the abilities that are needed to acquire the 3 skills credits required by his university course programme and at the same time is full prepared to take the IC3 exam and gain for himself an internationally recognized qualification that gives added value to his academic preparation in general and is also immediately useful in the work field.
The Administrative Sciences degree course consists of 6 credits in Information Technology Skills. It provides students with an opportunity to continue their studies and increase their knowledge of the risks on the Internet(viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, phishing, pharming, identity theft and so on) and conclude their preparation with a subject of fundamental importance with regard to the specific degree course in question and to the work field in general: the Digital Administration Code.
Once again, the course programme offers the same syllabus that is required for the new international information technology certificate: IC DAC (Digital Administration Code - Website). In this way the student is fully prepared to take the IC DAC exam and gain for himself a valuable and internationally recognized qualification of great value in his future professional career.
Relevant teaching material and a self-assessment test can all be downloaded from the "Documents" section of the Studium UniCT e-learning platform.
