What are the benefits of the I-CHIP register?

For individuals, registration with I-CHIP validates expertise by benchmarking their profiles against the ICT industry standard Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA). It provides independent evidence of professionalism, clarifying progression pathways and facilitating career planning in a structured manner.

For employers, I-CHIP can be used as a recruitment tool to streamline selection procedures, with independent assessment of applicants’ professional levels, even in specialised areas. It enables an employer to set goals appropriate to the needs of the organisation and of the individual.

For healthcare, I-CHIP aims to advance the application of informatics in the promotion of health and well-being, and to uphold and improve the standards of qualifications and competence in the field.
