With a focus on younger demographics, the IC3 Spark certification addresses the same foundational concepts as its precursor the IC3 Digital Literacy Certification. While both certifications target issues arising from the increasing demands of technology, IC3 Spark is created for younger children who may be new to computers and the Internet, or who lack a solid foundation in digital concepts.
Similar to the IC3 Digital Literacy Certification, IC3 Spark covers objectives spanning basic computing skills, key applications, and use of the Internet. However, as a single, 50 minute exam IC3 Spark is specifically designed for a younger audience and validates skills from three major objective domains:

• Living Online Cover Skills for working in an internet or networked environment
• Key Applications: Covers popular word processing,spreadsheet and presentation applications and the common features of all applications
• Computing Fundamentals
