Develop your team or organisation

SFIAplus is the most relevant definition of skills in today's dynamic global IT industry. Built on SFIA (Skills Framework for the Information Age) SFIAplus contains the full framework plus detailed training and development resources for each of the 96 skills across seven levels, helping you and your employees identify progression pathways, development needs and appropriate training activities.

Our Learning Capability Model (LCM) gives you a systematic approach to assessing your team's capability and maturity in line with your organisational goals. Gain clarity around your existing technology skills landscape, identify the gaps you need to fill, and lay the foundations for an inclusive development programme supporting the innovation and growth of your team.

BCS membership represents the driving force behind today's tech industry. Every member is committed to developing their career as well as professional standards across the wider industry, a commitment validated by our code of conduct.

Members enjoy exclusive development tools and support such as our interactive online career centre, CPD portal and mentoring, our 100+ regional and specialist group community, and BCS letters after their name for instant professional recognition.

Develop the knowledge, skills and competencies of your people, wherever they are in their careers, with our global certification portfolio. Mapped to SFIAplus and BCS membership grades, our 60+ certifications span the breadth of IT with core disciplines including security, business analysis and software testing. We accredit an international network of training and exam providers to work with us to give your IT talent the edge you're looking for.

With 74 accredited providers and over 11,000 registered apprentices, BCS has become market leader and a respected voice for the new digital IT apprenticeship standards. We were the first in the country to deliver end point assessment for the new digital standards and accept registration for 13 of the standards, more than any other end point assessment organisation.

Robust in quality and delivery - and supporting apprentices through BCS membership, e-learning resources, and BCS mentoring scheme - our apprenticeship standards will help you address the digital skills shortage by sourcing fresh talent as well as upskilling an existing workforce.

Demonstrate the credibility and commitment of your team through professional registration. With BCS, the more experienced members of your team can become chartered (CITP and CEng) and your IT technicians can achieve RITTech registration, confirming the value they bring to the workplace. All our professional registrations appear on a public register providing independent endorsement of the quality of your people.

Engage with prominent influencers and decision-makers in business, government, education, healthcare and wider industry - we're building the partnerships that are shaping the digital agenda across society.

From our Barefoot Computing collaboration with BT, and our Computing at School (CAS) group, to our new Federation for Informatics Professionals (Fed-IP), our accredited training provider network, and multinational corporate customers - you gain access to a dynamic BCS community that's activating change.

We draw on the knowledge and expertise in our community to provide exclusive insight and opinion, this includes whitepapers and research such as our annual Digital Leaders report exploring current real-world management issues and attitudes - and uncovering the technology trends keeping the C-suite awake at night!
