I have recently attained, through work-based experience: 1) Membership of the British Computer Society (MBCS). 2) Status of Chartered IT Professional from the BCS (CITP). 3) Licentiateship of The City & Guilds of London Institute (LCGI). I don't have enough college qualifications to go for IEng or CEng and, to be honest, EngTech would be more 'my bag'. Questions from a newbie to this board: 1) Is CITP recognised as high-level as IEng, CEng? 2) Is CITP equivalent to any degree level? 3) Is LCGI equivalent to any degree level? 4) Can I used my CITP / LCGI chartered status' to apply for EngTech from the Engineering Council? The EC website remains vague to me. 5) Will CITP/LCGI allow me to apply for an MSc place with the OU and bypass BSc requirements? Many thanks
De Montfort University offers a very good option for getting a good Masters Degree. Its base on independent study. http://www.dmu.ac.uk/study/applicant...ortunities.jsp
From my understanding the CITP should be at least IEng level, unless of course your experience is not engineering type. For work purpose, the CITP should work at First degree level although the BCS does not really say. LCGI would be likely Associates degree level in North America, the other option you is to pursue the GCGI directly by thesis or portfolio
