Since its founding in 1973, the Institute
for Certification of Computing Professionals (ICCP) has dedicated
itself to the establishment of high professional standards for
the computer industry. Under the direction of our Board of constituent
societies and affiliate societies
that promote our certification progams, we actively promote these
standards by offering the only broadly applicable and internationally
recognized certification program in the profession.
By offering certification in two major professional
designations -- Certified Computing Professional (CCP) and Associate
Computing Professional (ACP) -- the ICCP has helped to define
and raise the standards of our industry. And, in addition we have
established new and specialized professional certificates in with
the goal of creating a high uniform standard for computer knowledge
and expertise, the ICCP examinations provide a practical means
of assessment and achieving professional recognition in particular
areas of expertise through the use of many computing specializations
and programming language exams.
The ICCP, celebrating 35 years as the standard
bearer for professionals in the computer industry, has extended
its efforts to promote the computer profession with a separate
independantly operated non-profit education foundation. The ICCP
Education Foundation offers important educational programs
and services to computer professionals, educators, the computer
industry, government and the general public. As our industry grows
and changes, we will continue to explore and develop new means
of furthering professionalism in the computer industry.
The ICCP Education Foundation is actively pursuing the development
of a continuously changing Common Body of Knowledge (CBOK) and
