The IT Profession

If you are not already a member of either the BCS Chartered Institute for IT (BCS) or the Institution of Analysts and Programmers (IAP), we would strongly encourage you to join at least one of them.

The BCS Chartered Institute for IT is the organisation responsible unders its Royal Charter for computing and IT related matters in the United Kingdom. It also maintains the register of Chartered IT Professionals. The IAP, while not a chartered organisation, is the specialist society for business analysts and programmers.

We believe that the concept of professionalism is just as important in information technology as it is in other more established graduate professions. Indeed, if anything, we think it is even more important in our profession since it is relatively immature in comparison to others such as law or surveying, which some of your fellow graduates in other disciplines might be entering.

If you have yet to graduate, you can apply to be a student with the BCS Chartered Institute of IT. You can become a Licentiate of the IAP after achieving good results in your first two years of your degree, with the designatory post-nominal letters LIAP.

If you have just graduated, you are likely to be eligible to become an Associate Member (AMBCS) of the BCS; or a Graduate Member (GradIAP) of the IAP, although if you have some valid experience you maybe considered for Associate Membership (AMIAP).
