Disclosing a disability

We encourage candidates to disclose a disability when they submit an ICDL registration form to us. After you have disclosed a disability the information that you have shared is treated in the strictest confidence.

We may need to share this information with the British Computer Society (BCS) if you require reasonable adjustments to be made when sitting your ICDL tests. Candidates would always be asked for consent for any information to be shared with BCS and no information would be shared without this consent.

Reasonable adjustments

Some candidates may request a reasonable adjustment be made to assist them when sitting an ICDL test. Examples of reasonable adjustments that may be made are extra time, use of specific software or use of a reader.
