EITCI, The European IT Certification Institute |
The European Information Technologies Certification Institute EITCI has been established as a not-for-profit European non-governmental organization, dedicated to counteracting digital exclusion in society by undertaking research and development of IT certification methodologies and standards. The Institute, working towards increasing accessibility, is governing and licensing its IT certification programs, which are commercially available to individual and institutional customers over the EITCI Licensee Network (no commercial services are offered directly by the Institute). |  .

The EITCI Institute currently runs two IT certification programs: the European IT Certification Course EITCC program and the European IT Certification Academy EITCA program. Information technologies proficiency among citizens is a key factor in dynamics of Information Society development and further economic growth. Both the EITCC and the EITCA IT certification programs of the Institute are accessible on-line over the Internet (leveling physical barriers in access) and are targeted at individuals and institutions, enabling formal documentation of information technologies competencies. Due to specially designed fully on-line certification procedure preserving high quality of the certificates, there is no need to undertake EITCC and EITCA examinations at physical location, which is an important factor in overcoming individual barriers and ensuring accessibility of IT certification services to everyone. The EITCI Institute has its seat located in Brussels, Belgium, but both the EITCC and the EITCA IT certification programs are available globally on-line over the Internet within the network of partnering IT training companies and examination centers (EITCI Licensee Network). Please note that the EITCI Institute does not offer the EITCC and the EITCA IT certification programs to individual or institutional customers on its own. Instead the commercial offer for customers interested in obtaining EITCI IT certificates is available within the EITCI Licensee Network, assembling cooperating companies that offer EITCC and EITCA on-line IT certification examinations optionally extended by certification program compliant stationary or non-stationary (e-Learning) training methodologies in a given country and language. The EITCI IT certification programs are developed to be complementary with existing industrial IT certificates and to constitute an added value in a formal documentation of information technologies proficiency of an individual or an institution. Detailed information on IT certificates developed by the EITCI Institute is available in several languages.
