About ISEB:
The Information Systems Examinations Board (ISEB) is a division of the British Computer Society.

ISEB was created in 1990 from the Systems Analysis Examinations Board (which was set up in 1967). ISEB administers examinations and issues certificates in a variety of subjects in the field of information systems engineering.

The aim of the Information Systems Examination Board (ISEB) is to raise the standard of competence and performance of those working in IT. It does this by offering a range of relevant industry recognised qualifications.

ISEB does not itself provide training to candidates preparing for its qualifications but, through the accreditation process, it does recognise and promote those training organisations which demonstrate the ability to teach the appropriate syllabus using competent tutors and good materials in an appropriate learning environment.

ISEB has now issued over 300,000 IT Qualifications and the ISEB portfolio offers a large number of IT qualifications over a variety of disciplines.

ISEB Qualifications: Benefits

As well as being universally accepted, ISEB qualifications are carefully tailored to meet the needs of IS practitioners, at all stages in their careers.

Qualifications are designed to be both accessible and relevant. They cover all major areas of IS including Management, Development, Service Delivery and Quality.

Thanks to our close links with industry representatives and subject sponsors, they also encompass the latest technological advances and new methodologies.

As a measure of their success, over 155,000 ISEB qualifications have been awarded to date.


If anyone cares to attend (Non-members very welcome) I'd be pleased to meet up at the meeting
