In addition to Engineering Council registration, the IHE is licensed by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, to award Advanced RITTech – the registration for IT Technicians.
Advanced RITTech is a step up from RITTech registration — and a step closer to Chartered IT Professional (CITP). Advanced RITTech will demonstrate that you are dedicated to the IT profession, and can be considered a rising star within the industry.
Advanced RITTech Professional Registration:

Is it for me?
To gain BCS professional registration technicians prove their competence and commitment in a professional review of their portfolio submission. Anyone who meets the competence and responsibility standards can become Advanced RITTech – there’s a route to suit all competent technicians.
Advanced RITTech recognises people doing a technical job well whilst demonstrating professional behaviours, attitude and the value they bring. It’s an independent standard of current competence and commitment to quality for those who earn it, the employer they work for and the customer they deliver to.
If you are currently working in IT in a technical role within highway engineering, Advanced RITTech will be the Professional Registration for you. The assessment covers different IT roles that span the whole digital industry, from business analysis, digital marketing, IT service desk to infrastructure, software and network support.
