Who can become an ICT Technician?
In order to obtain ICTTech registration you will first need to be an existing IHE member paying an annual subscription. Please refer to our website at www.theihe.org/membership if you need to apply for IHE membership.
Anyone who meets the competence and responsibility standards can become an ICT Technician – there’s a route to suit all competent technicians.
ICTTechs work in a variety of environments. These include, but are not limited to: offices, development labs, data and operational centres, field environments, customer premises and manufacturing. They support a range of highway engineering functions which utilise ICT solutions, and hardware and software components. Examples of functions include, but are not limited to: design, development, implementation, installation, operation, problem solving and security of ICT applications, products, services and/or infrastructures.
ICTTech is the most appropriate grade of Professional Registration for highway engineering technicians working in traffic signals, ITS, CAD design and data modelling.
Many will have a BTEC, NVQ Level 3 or SVQ Level 6 (or equivalent) qualification. Others will have gained the necessary skills, knowledge and experience through a non-academic route because of their practical experience in the highways industry.
How to apply
To gain Engineering Council registration, engineers and technicians prove their competence and commitment in a Professional Review of their portfolio submission to the IHE. There is normally no interview for ICTTech registration.
