I went to a local computer training centre where you could do the course and then take the exam straight away (it was aimed at people who already used those programmes at work). So it took me a day to do each module.
I went for an interview to teach ECDL, but I'd never heard of it. I had no chance to even investigate it before the interview as I was working 200 miles away without Internet and I drove 200 miles home and straight into the interview. After the interview I was put in front of a PC and given all the tests. I got 90-100% in all of them, without knowing what they were after. So they're not that difficult to get through.
Mostly it's just common sense and a bit of use. There's nothing difficult in there.
I have taught ECDL face to face and as an online tutor and if you are already used to software/a PC you could probably whizz through the syllabus in a couple of days or less.
