Right,There's this "European computer drive license". Now it's simply a basic computer course with Microsoft word,excel,outlook etc

Is it worth doing? 125 euro or is there something better? I'm in forth year...

Nope. If you want a cert for the CV, do something like a Microsoft or CompTIA cert instead. Pitman may also be worth looking at.

Nope, did it in TY, had to relearn Excel in my first year of college, had forgotten it all, and most of it was useless anyways

So you'd say to not do it? Only thing bothering me is a teacher told me it'd be useful for employers...

I wouldn't bother, surely you can use word and excel to a reasonable degree, most other things can be googled.

Important to an employer doesn't mean a whole pile, I doubt too many hairdresses will give a fart, if you want to go into anything computer related getting a head start in C or what has been mentioned

Not in the slightest. I know people that have done it and still barely know how to turn on a PC.

Do a Microsoft or Cisco course instead.
