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.

An interview shows
An IICTP credential shows
How well a candidate presents
What a practitioner has demonstrably mastered
Self-reported skills, unchecked
Third-party proof, held in a public registry
Weeks of onboarding uncertainty
A capability signal from day one
Gut-feel hiring and promotion
Benchmark data behind each decision
Skills assessed once, then frozen
Competence renewed every three years

The scale

Four credentials. One standard for every engineer.

From a first role to setting technical direction. Every benchmark and training path maps to one of the four core credentials.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Contact the team
Is IICTP tied to any vendor?

No. The standard is vendor-neutral, and IICTP does not sell training itself. Training is delivered by licensed partners, and every instructor holds the credential. About the partner programme.

How long does a credential last?

Three years. Holders renew by earning Technical Development Units and passing an audit of their log: 30 for the ATP® and 60 for the CTP®, PgTP®, PfTP® and specialist credentials.

Can we benchmark a team before anyone sits an exam?

Yes. The benchmark maps your engineers to the four core credentials so you can plan training before anyone certifies.

How do we verify a credential?

Enter the credential ID in the public registry. You will see the holder, the credential and whether it is active. Open the registry.

How many people can we certify?

Startup & scaleup membership includes up to 10 team seats and Enterprise up to 50. For more, write to us and we will scope it with you.
