In addition to Engineering Council registration, the IHE is licensed by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, to award RITTech – the registration for IT Technicians.
RITTech Professional Registration:
  |
Recognises the talents and contribution of those who design, build and maintain our digital world | |
Sets the industry standard for technical skills and conduct, recognising and validating your competence in just seven letters | |
|
Earns you a place on an independent public register demonstrating you are a trusted professional | |
Sets you on the same skills framework as Chartered IT Professional (CITP) registration | |
| |
Signals that you are committed to meeting the highest standards in your work | |
Employers will see that you are engaged in the tech industry, and keen to develop your career |
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 RITTech – there’s a route to suit all competent technicians.
Typically, you will have been working in digital industries a few years. There is not a prescriptive timeframe, but it is estimated that you’ll need to have at least a year of experience working in the field (and most registrants will have more). It’s current competence that matters – a threshold of quality you’ve crossed and are actively demonstrating.
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.
