Membership underpins your credibility and shows you take your profession seriously. Over 70,000 members are helping us to shape the profession. By joining the Institute you become part of that.

• Recognition
  Industry recognised letters AMBCS, MBCS, CITP or FBCS after your name underline your status as a dedicated IT professional.
• Networking and events
  Peer to peer networking is a highly effective way to stay in touch with the latest thinking. Get the most from membership by getting involved - through our online Member Network, by joining a specialist group or your local branch, or by attending our seminars and events.
• Knowledge and best practice
  Our code of conduct sets out the professional standards required of Institute members. Members can access our online library containing a vast array of industry information spanning e-books, research reports, journals and information databases.
• Achieve Chartered status
  Employers, recruiters and clients are actively searching for something extra from IT professionals: a mark of integrity and dedication to the industry. Chartered status is proof that you are one of the best in the business.
• Professional certification
  Upon successful completion of a professional certification you are eligible for Professional Membership (MBCS).
  
  The Institute awards Chartered IT Professional status (CITP), Chartered Engineer (CEng) and Chartered Scientist (CSci) enabling you to choose the registrations that best reflect your professional profile.
