This subject also brings up the area of training and certification in office  
applications. The European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) has been the  
standard for certification and training in office productivity applications  
in Europe and beyond, for almost 20 years. In theory, ECDL is vendor-neutral,  
in practice almost all the certification and training for ECDL, is based  
entirely on MS Office applications.

All ECDL training and certification should be using free software office  
applications, such as LibreOffice. The ECDL Foundation should also be a major  
sponsor, and supporter, of both OpenDocument, and LibreOffice.
