I'm 54 with 18 years experience in IT, including teaching at a university. I
am now losing out to people with very little experience but with a bit of
paper. One friend is now teaching IT at a local college and I know for a
fact that she had never touched a computer until three years ago and until
recently only used one for word-processing. She went out and took the
European Computer Driving Licence and a Teaching Certificate.
I'm doing the same although I have found the ECDL very basic and not
particularly useful - but it will satisfy those who require a bit of paper.
