Certification-First SkillingGet started
IC3 Digital Literacy · Training included with your voucher

The credential that says you can actually work a computer.

IC3 is the global standard for digital literacy: the baseline schools, first employers and scholarship boards ask for. Buy your voucher and the official training for your level is included. One purchase takes you from skill to a credential that never expires.

Your voucher includes the official LearnKey training videos. GMetrix practice tests and retakes are optional add-ons. Sit at a test center, or online where there’s none nearby.

IC3 Digital Literacy does not expire. Unlike many certifications, an IC3 credential is yours permanently: pass once, and it stays on your CV for the rest of your career. No recertification, no renewal fees, ever.

Why it matters

Everyone assumes you have these skills. Almost nobody can prove it.

01

The hidden filter

Employers rarely list “digital literacy” on a job ad. They simply assume it, then quietly screen out anyone who fumbles a spreadsheet or a shared drive in week one.

02

The proof gap

You’ve used computers your whole life. But “I’m good with computers” isn’t a credential, and it isn’t something an ATS or a scholarship board can verify.

03

The fix

IC3 turns an assumption into proof of skill: a globally recognized, permanent credential from Certiport. Your voucher from $75 includes the training, so you certify when you’re ready.

Why certification first

Five problems graduates face. One answer: proof of skill.

A qualification says you studied. An IC3 credential from Certiport proves you can use the computer, the internet and the cloud tools every job now runs on, and that changes what happens after graduation.

“I have a qualification, but no job.”

Almost every job now assumes you can handle email, files, cloud documents and online safety. IC3 proves it on your CV, and an employer can verify it online in minutes.

“Computer literate” is a claim. IC3 is proof.

“I need experience to get experience.”

Interns who can share a drive, collaborate in a cloud document, run a video meeting and spot a phishing email don’t need hand-holding in week one, so they get trusted with real work.

3Entrepreneurship

“I want to build something of my own.”

Every small business now runs online: email, cloud storage, digital payments and social media. Digital literacy lets you run yours safely, and it’s the first step toward selling digital skills as a service.

Your business runs online. Prove you can run it.

4Deeper understanding

“Using a phone isn’t the same as knowing computers.”

The three GS6 levels build the understanding behind everyday use: how devices, files and networks work, how the cloud and collaboration tools fit together, and how to troubleshoot and stay safe online.

Anyone can tap an app. Certification proves you understand it.

5Global reach

“My qualification doesn’t travel.”

IC3 is the global digital-literacy standard from Certiport, recognized by schools and employers worldwide and verifiable online. The same credential counts in Harare, Johannesburg, Dubai or London.

One credential. Every border. It never expires.
