What is an Open Group ITSC Accredited Certification Program (ACP)? What is the difference between certification and accreditation?
When a company or organization desires certification for a large number of IT Specialists in its employ, it may apply to establish an ITSC Accredited Certification Program (ACP). Once accredited, the ACP manages the evaluation of its own employees seeking ITSC certification. l Certification is the process by which an individual IT Specialist is evaluated against the criteria of The Open Group ITSC program. l Accreditation is the process that assesses an organizations methods for managing the evaluation process for IT Specialists in their employ who are seeking certification, against the requirements of The Open Group ITSC Program. Accreditation ensures that companies or organizations operating the ITSC program for their employees apply the same criteria as The Open Group and all other ACPs. ITSC certification therefore means that IT Specialists certified through an ACP meet the same requirements as IT Specialists who are directly certified by The Open Group. The Open Group ITSC program
