ICDL Arabia strives to extend the benefits of the ICDL program to people with disability. This reinforces ICDL Arabia’s stand that IT literacy should be accessible to all individuals, irrespective of their age, background, gender, and physical abilities. To further this cause, the ECDL Foundation, the worldwide governing body of the ICDL program, has set specific procedures and standards for accrediting organizations that provide training and testing to disabled people. ICDL Arabia, the regional arm of the ECDL Foundation is responsible for implementing these procedures and standards in the Gulf region, Egypt and Iraq.
