The regulations of the Master's Degree Course - Studies on International Security (MISS) provide for the certification of one's skills in the IT field by one of the different methods indicated:
- by taking the necessary tests free of charge without issuing certification at the UniTrento Test Center;
- by taking the necessary tests for a fee with the release of international certification validated by ACCREDIA at the UniTrento Test Center;
- through the recognition of certification previously acquired at a center authorized to issue IT certifications other than UniTrento.
However, not all IT certifications are recognizable. The University of Trento only recognizes the certifications referable to the ACCREDIA "Qualified Computer User" scheme.
Therefore, only those certifications that bear the ACCREDIA "stamp" are recognizable. And in particular, check that the "stamp" refers specifically to the Certification and not to the issuing body.
If you are in possession of a certification and want to check if it is recognizable, you can query the ACCREDIA database at this link: verify
All “ICDL Full Standard” certifications have the ACCREDIA stamp.
Both in the case of the ICDL modality and in that of the modality used by UniTrento for the verification of IT competences, the test consists of a series of tests for passing 7 modules.For the contents, reference should be made to the syllabus of the ICDL Full standard.
