ITCP applicants must meet these entry criteria

• Successful completion of the Australian Computer Society (ACS) Computer Professional Education Program (CPEP).

If you completed the CPEP program more than two years prior to application, you also need to provide evidence that you have:

• Recent* demonstrated competence in one or more specialist areas of I.T. (technical or domain knowledge) at Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) Level 5 or equivalent or above (see Skills area).

• Recent* demonstrated capability to operate at the SFIA Level 5 or equivalent or above (see Level area).

CPEP is a world-class online postgraduate level program with a strong focus on ICT and business alignment. To qualify for the CPEP, applicants need to meet the entry requirements set by the ACS.  CIPS has however negotiated an arrangement with the ACS, whereby Canadian applicants’ eligibility for the CPEP will be assessed by CIPS. Canadian applicants need to meet the I.S.P. entry requirements to be eligible. CIPS has also negotiated discounted tutions fees for CIPS members (a $850 cost saving per unit) .  For more information on the CPE Program or to register contact Gina van Dalen at gina@cips.ca or 905 602 1370 ext. 2329.

* Applicants need to provide evidence that they have 1,000 hours of professional work experience in the year preceding application.
