Chartered IT Professional (CITP)

In addition to Engineering Council registration, the IHE is licensed by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, to award Registration for Chartered IT Professional (CITP).

Benefits of becoming a Chartered IT Professional:

	Set yourself apart as a highly-skilled IT professional with a place on the public CITP register			Help to raise the profile of your profession and play a part in shaping its development
	CITP is mapped to the SFIA (Skills Framework for the Information Age) framework at level 5. More information on the SFIA framework can be found here: https://sfia-online.org/en

Is it for me?

To gain BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT) professional registration, engineers prove their competence and commitment in a professional review of their portfolio submission.

Anyone who meets the competence and responsibility standards can become a CITP – there’s a route to suit all competent engineers.

You’re ready to become CITP if you are:

• engaged in challenging and complex activities across the business.
• in a position of influence and responsibility.
• committed to continuing your professional development.

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.

Revalidation

To remain registered CITP Professional you will need to revalidate your competence every five years. After successful revalidation you will receive a Certificate of Current Competence for a further five year period.
