Become a Chartered IT Professional for FREE in 2023
- Wednesday March 22, 2023
The IHE is licensed by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, to award registration as a Chartered IT Professional (CITP) – the independent standard of competence and professionalism in the technology industry.
By gaining CITP you can:
• benchmark your knowledge and skills against the recognised industry standard
• demonstrate your current competence to clients and employers
• set yourself apart as a highly skilled IT professional with a place on the public CITP register
• help raise the profile of your profession and play a part in shaping its development.
To gain BCS professional registration, engineers prove their competence and commitment in a professional review of their portfolio submission and by virtual interview. Anyone who meets the competence and responsibility standards can become a CITP – there’s a route to suit all competent engineers.
What happens when I achieve CITP registration?
• Public register – confirm your place among the most influential IT professionals in the industry by appearing in the public register of chartered IT Professionals
• Certificate of current competence – on registration, you’re awarded a certificate of current competence, which is valid for five years. To extend your certificate after the initial five-year period, you’ll be invited to submit evidence of your CPD and continued competence in your specialist area
• Get involved – your knowledge, experience and opinion are valuable commodities, which you can invest in BCS to support your CPD as well as the development of our industry.
• Mentoring network: Inspiring another person and seeing them progress and benefit from your knowledge and insight is a hugely rewarding experience.
• Volunteering: Grow your professional network, and the profile of your field, by taking an active role in the running of our membership community.
