The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals (ITP) has formed a collaborative partnership with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) to create a joint service exclusively for its members aimed at raising professional standards across the ICT sector.


This joint ITP-IET mem-ber registration programme means that ITP members can apply for professional registration, using the IET, which is licensed by the Engineering Council UK to award professional qualifications. ITP members of this programme will be entitled to use qualification designatory letters CEng, IEng, EngTech or ICTTech after their name once they are awarded ECUK registration.

Michelle Richmond, IET Membership and Professional Development Director, said, "In the current economic climate it is more important than ever to set oneself apart from the competition. Professional registration does just this and shows commitment and dedication, as well as demonstrating to employers a range of skills. We are delighted to have formed this partnership, which is part of the IET's collaborative approach to raising professional standards and competence across the industry worldwide."
