The Importance of IT Governance Qualifications
IT governance is a key component of corporate governance and is at the heart of strategic IT management in all successful organisations. The need for a closer alliance of business objectives with IT resources, a better return on investment and the need for compliance to standards are all significant drivers to ensuring that information technology truly delivers competitive advantage. Senior managers and consultants who advise on IT governance are much in demand in organisations throughout the world.
Founded in 2011, the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications (IBITGQ) was setup to help improve and standardise the range and quality of training for IT governance professionals. The organisation is a not-for profit association incorporated under German law and has been developed by a number of leading IT governance professionals and organisations.
IBITGQ Qualifications
The principal examination body for IBITGQ is the Global Association for Software Quality (gasq) who are an independent, international and non-profit organization aiming to improve the quality of IT governance and software applications in research, education and industry. In addition to the IBITGQ qualifications, gasq also offers the ISTQB® Certified Tester Certification, CSPIP® - the Certified Software Process Improvement Professional certification and REQB® Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering certification.
Working closely with the Global Association for Software Quality (gasq), the IBITGQ defines and awards qualifications built around the implementation and audit skills required for management standards that include ISO27001, ISO27005, BS25999 and ISO38500.
