BCS - The Chartered Institute for IT



I had a meeting earlier this week with Lindsay Hamilton of the BCS, he has been recently appointed as the Regional Customer Manager for Qualifications in Scotland. 

Discussions centred generally around what the BCS could do for us as a consortium and what we as centres would want from them.  With this in mind I would be interested to hear of any ideas you may have.  Are there any particular reasons that are preventing you from undertaking or offering BCS qualifications in your centre? If there is anything you can think of related to this or BCS, please let me know and I can pass your ideas on. Their website for reference is www.bcs.org

I have agreed with Lindsay that I would support Centres implementation of the BCS qualifications similar to the way we support other vendor qualifications, which will be included in your ITPCS membership.  The finer points of this have to be decided but it will include onsite and offsite support, admin support and possibly discounts (as we are part of the consortium)


Lindsay has agreed to come and speak at the next ITPCS Event we have (which I have pencilled in for August) however if you would like to know more about this please do not hesitate to contact me.



Thanks

Iain
