For organizations

Know what your
engineers can do.

Benchmark, train and certify technical teams against one vendor-neutral standard, and check every credential in a public registry.

• Vendor-neutral
• Four core credentials, one standard
• Public registry

How it works

One standard, four steps.

Why credentials

Proof beats polish.

An interview measures presentation. A credential measures what someone knows and can do, checked by a body that does not sell them training.

The scale

Four credentials. One standard for every engineer.

Public registry

Check any credential in seconds.

Every IICTP credential has a number. Enter it and see who holds it, which credential it is, and whether it is still active.

• Free to use, no account needed
• Shows status and expiry dates
• Bulk checks for hiring teams, on request

Tracks

One core path. Six specialist tracks.

Where it fits

Use it wherever skill decides.

Hiring

Screen on proven skill rather than presentation.

Onboarding

Know each new hire’s credential from the first day.

Promotion

Back each decision with benchmark data.

Client assurance

Show clients and auditors skills they can verify.

Coming 2027 · The IICTP standard

The TPBOK™
Guide Standard

Competence is terrain, and this is the map: one vendor-neutral reference for what technology professionals should know and be able to do, across five domains and four levels.

About the Guide

A shared language for technical competence.

Purpose

Sets out what competent practice looks like in each domain, in plain, testable statements, independent of any vendor or tool.

Audience

Engineers who want a path, managers who need a yardstick, and educators and employers who need a common scale.

Basis for certification

Every IICTP credential is assessed against the Guide. Studying the Guide is studying for the exam, and the reverse.

Inside the Guide

Nine parts, one map.

Part titles and order are provisional. Each part opens with the same template, so every domain reads the same way.

The competence model

Four levels, one map.

How it reads

Every competency, written the same way.

• 1A clear statement. One outcome, in one sentence, with no tool names.
• 2Four level descriptors. What changes in scope, autonomy and judgement from L1 to L4.
• 3Evidence. What an assessor accepts as proof at each level.

ARC-3.2Design for failure

Systems are designed so that expected faults degrade service gracefully instead of stopping it.

Road to release

Four stages to the first edition.

Take part

Help shape the first edition.

Review the open draft

Read the draft when it opens and comment on any statement.

Write a domain

Experienced practitioners can join a domain group and help draft and test the statements.

About · Reports and disclosures

What we will publish, and when.

IICTP has not published an annual report yet. This page says what the reports will contain, so you can hold us to it. The first report will be linked here when it exists.

Status

No reports published yet.

Planned contents

What an annual report will cover.

Examination statistics

Candidates, results and pass rates for each credential, with how they were counted.

Registry integrity

Records issued, corrected and withdrawn, and any incident that affected a record.

Ethics and conduct

The number of concerns received and the outcomes, without naming people unless the rules allow.

Finances

A financial statement. If it is reviewed by an independent auditor, the report will name the auditor and the scope. If not, it will say so.

About · Our legacy

Built independent, on purpose.

IICTP was founded to be a vendor-neutral standard for technical practitioners. Its credibility rests on one separation: those who set the standard do not sell the training.

The charter

Five articles of the founding charter.

The roadmap

Three phases of growth.

The credentials

Four core credentials, from early practice to enterprise leadership.

About · Governance

The standard is independent by design.

IICTP’s credibility rests on one rule: the people who set the standard and guard the exams must have no commercial stake in the outcome. The board is being formed, and this page shows the seats, what each one does, and who may sit in it.

Structure set out in the IICTP operating blueprint.

The rule

A strict separation.

To protect the value of the credential, IICTP separates standard-setting from commercial operations.

• 01Independent seats
• 02No exam preparation sales
• 03Published criteria

• Standard-setting. The Board, the Committee and the Integrity Board.
• Operations. The Executive Management Body and its network.
• The wall. Nothing commercial crosses it.

The board seats

Open for nomination.

Institutional organs

Four bodies, one framework.

Board of Global Standards

Independent advisory panel that will review the TPBOK™ and validate exam question banks each year.

Academic & Syllabus Committee

Will formulate, update and ratify the syllabi across all 5 TPBOK™ domains and direct the item-writing groups.

Assessment Integrity & Ethics Board

Will maintain exam validity, monitor proctoring security and investigate breaches of the IICTP Code of Ethics.

Executive Management Body

Will run day-to-day operations, manage Authorized Training Partners, oversee chapters and maintain the verification registry.

Standard operating procedures

How the standard will be maintained.

To protect assessment validity, the 10 credentials are designed to be recalibrated every year under written Standard Operating Procedures.

About · Executive management

Who runs the standard, day to day.

The independent Board of Global Standards defines the TPBOK™ and validates the exam banks. The Executive Management Body delivers it: testing, partners, chapters and the verification registry.

What the executive body runs

• 01
  Certification deliveryTimed online exams with an integrity attestation.
• 02

About · Mission and vision

Mission and vision.

What IICTP sets out to do, and the principles it holds itself to. These are aims, stated so they can be checked as we deliver.

Mission

A credential that proves capability.

Vision

A standard the profession trusts.

Principles

Four principles we hold to.

Vendor-neutral

The standard is not tied to one company’s products, and those who set it do not sell the training.

Independent

Standard-setting is kept apart from commercial operations. The board that will do it is being formed.

Verifiable

Every credential is designed to be checked by anyone in a public registry, without asking IICTP.

Honest

We state what is done and what is planned, and we correct mistakes openly.

Choosing a credential

Look at the options before you decide.

About · Our purpose

Our purpose.

IICTP exists to make technical skill visible and checkable, so that people who build and run software can show what they can do, and the people who rely on them can see it.

For practitioners

A fair way to show what you can do.

For employers and clients

A way to check, not take on trust.

For the profession

A shared definition of competent practice.

About · Impact and sustainability

Impact and sustainability.

IICTP has no results to report yet, and this page does not invent any. It says what we intend to measure and why energy use belongs in engineering practice.

Why it matters

Computing uses real energy.

In the standard

Where it appears in the credentials.

What we will report

Measures we plan to publish.

Access

If IICTP offers fee support, how many people received it, and on what criteria. No figure is claimed today.

Registry reach

How many credentials are active and in which regions, once there are any.

Our own footprint

How we host and run the site, and how we reduce its energy use.

About · Professional ethics

A promise every
holder swears.

Every practitioner conferred with the Insignia will be asked to sign the IICTP Canons of Ethics as a condition of holding it. The process for acting on a breach is set out below as it is planned, and is not yet in operation.

The canons

Seven rules holders will live by.

Enforcement

Planned: due process, then a public record.

Reporting a concern

Raising a concern should not cost you your career.

IICTP does not yet run a funded defense programme and does not offer legal representation. What it commits to now is below. Anything more will be announced here only once it exists.

Annual attestation

The oath is planned to be renewed every year.

IICTP plans to ask holders to file a conflict-of-interest statement and reaffirm the canons each year. The date and the consequence of missing it will be published before it applies.

Recognition follows conduct. See who has been honored for it, and how IICTP will report on itself.

About · Honors and fellowship

Honor that is not for sale.

IICTP plans to celebrate engineering mastery: the tech leads and architects whose work keeps critical systems running. The honors are planned so that each is decided by peers, then confirmed by the Board of Global Standards. None has been awarded yet.

The honors

Three planned distinctions.

How nominations will work

Three steps to election.

Roll of honor

The first honors are still to come.
