BCS The Chartered Institute for IT

BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, is the professional body for the people who work in tech. Together we’re on a mission, set by Royal Charter, to build a safe and bright digital future for everyone in society.

For this to happen we need a technology profession that’s ethical, accountable, diverse and innovative. So we work with key partners and our global membership community to improve IT education and break down barriers, raise professional and ethical standards across industry, and support digital talent in all its forms.

You may know us as the awarding body for BCS professional certification and digital skills qualifications. We're also a leading assessment organisation for digital apprenticeships, and the regulatory body for Chartered IT Professional (CITP) and Register for IT Technicians (RITTech) registration.
We also provide Computing teacher training scholarships funded by the Department for Education.
