An ISEB (or Information Systems Examining Board) qualification is a certificate invigilated by The Chartered Institute for IT which aims to show the skills of a practitioner in a particular field of computing. It covers ten major areas of the IT profession, and aims to provide professionals with career support, as well as helping individuals to qualify for the first rung of a particular profession.
The ISEB, short for Information Systems Examination Board, is a branch of The Chartered Institute for IT. It is recognised in most major countries around the globe, including Japan and Australia. Obviously these qualifications have to be separated into subsets of IT fields. There are in fact ten fields on offer at the moment. These are: IT governance and information security, project management and support, IS consultancy (which means the field of IT processes consultancy basically), green and sustainable IT, business analysis, software testing, data centre management and solution development and architecture.
The certificates come in three levels: foundation, practitioner and advanced. The aim with foundation qualifications is to introduce an area of work to the student, and give them a good base with which to enter and apply for junior and support roles within the industry. Practitioner level qualifications, as their name suggests, are more about supporting professionals along their career path. The aim is to enable them to qualify for working in new, more professional roles.
The seven subsets within these banners of foundation, practitioner and advanced allow further discrimination between skills levels. So, level one is your assistant candidate, level four is a practitioner with well developed relevant skills, and level six would be a sector manager, while level seven would qualify someone as an executive.
If you're an IT worker, or someone seeking to work in this burgeoning field, it's a good idea to give yourself a good grounding in ISEB qualifications. It helps to categorise your skill level, and initiates learning in new fields too. All in all, they can make the difference to a developing career.
