| Business Partners
In order to better serve the professional
certification needs of the computing industry, the ICCP actively
establishes strategic alliances with other providers of certification
programs. Upon completion of such an alliance, the participating
company is designated an ICCP Accredited Business Partner.
At this time, the ICCP has designated the
following companies as Accredited Business Partners:
ICCP and IBM Corporation
June 1996 was the date for the commencement of an
alliance between the ICCP and IBM
for the use of the ICCP's C and C++ exams as part of IBM

Once an individual has completed any of IBM's certifications,
they need only pass the Core exam offered by the ICCP to attain

ACBSP Accepts ICCP Certification
The Association
of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) and the
Institute for Certification of Computing Professionals (ICCP)
have announced acceptance of ICCP's professional certification
toward ACBSP's requirement for Professionally Qualified
faculty accreditation credentials.
ACBSP is one of two national accrediting bodies
for business schools and is the accrediting body of choice for
more than 500 medium-sized and small four-year colleges, universities
and community colleges.
ACBSP faculty accreditation requires one of three
levels of credential:
- Doctorally Qualified,
- Professionally Qualified (both a Masters
Degree and professional certification), or
- Minimally Qualified (Masters Degree in
the field).
Faculty members can now meet the Professionally
Qualified level through certification earned by passing the Certified
Computing Professional (CCP) exam.
This acceptance of ICCP certification offers more
opportunity for faculty members to earn the Professionally Qualified
credential.Founded in 1988, ACBSP has developed standards for
fostering excellence in business teaching rather than a major
emphasis on research. ACBSP was recognized by the U.S. Department
of Education, the recognition body for accrediting organizations,
in 1992.
ICCP was created in 1973 by eight professional computing
societies to provide professional certification in the computing/information
systems field. ICCP certification is earned through a combination
of education, practical knowledge and examination, which includes
core and specialty areas in technical and managerial functions.
Such certifications by ICCP have increasingly been accepted by
other organizations as the ultimatequalification for information
systems professionals.
Dr. John Green, the director at ACBSP, states that
"This agreement recognizes the stringent standards implicit in
ICCP certifications and greatly contributes to improved quality
and relevance of academic training in the fast-changing field
of computing and information systems."
ICCP's comments that "acceptance of ICCP certification
by an organization of the caliber of ACBSP firmly establishes
the value of the high standards demanded by the ICCP comprehensive
certification process."ACBSP
is based in Overland Park, KS and the ICCP is based in Des Plaines,
IL. For further information, contact the ICCP
or Dr. John L. Green Jr., ACBSP at (913) 339-9356.
