Zeity I'm dissapointed that you, of all people, would fall for the old 80 column trap!

It wouldn't surprise me if the BCS are pushing for a new punched card standard....

I might be wrong, but in my experience of the BCS, it is probably bureaucratic, elitest, and 10 years behind the times.

Do they still want everyone to have an IT Practitioner License before they are let anywhere near a computer?

Do you use SFIA levels in your CV?

I am starting to see SFIA descriptions & levels being referred to in job descriptions and person specs.

Do you use the SFIA structure job descriptions / levels on your CV?

For those not having heard of SFIA:

"SFIAplus is the IT skills, training and development standard widely used in the UK and beyond. Developed and maintained for over 20 years by BCS in consultation with IT practitioners and employers, SFIAplus defines skills for the IT professional plus the training and development required to nurture and maintain them."
