BCS and PCG forge closer ties
The British Computer Society (BCS) has entered into an agreement with the Professional Contractors Group (PCG), to provide a fast-track route for PCG members.
The alliance is a key move in a campaign by the BCS to make IT a more professional profession.
According to Simon Juden, PCG’s chairman, there is increasing demand from clients and employers for professional accreditation. He said: "The professional status of freelancers, consultants and contractors is becoming an important differentiator and we encourage all PCG members to invest in building their technical and business credentials".
The scheme will allow PCG members to upgrade an existing standard BCS membership and will also allow entry at Professional level.
A survey of PCG members found that 25 per cent are already members of the BCS. The BCS promises to process applications by PCG members for Chartered membership within four weeks.
