International IT Professional Certification

According to media reports, the International Professional Practice Partnership (IP3) of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) has accredited the Australian Computer Society (ACS) as the first organisation to award International IT Professional (IITP) certification. This is based on the ACS' existing Computer Professional (CP) Program.

IFIP started work on the global certification in 2007 with a task force chaired by British Computer Society, along with the Australian Computer Society, Canadian Information Processing Society, IEEE Computer Society and the Computer Society of South Africa.
