Institute of IT Professionals New Zealand

IT Professionals NZ operates the IT industry's independent degree accreditation process, recognising and endorsing degree programmes that provide good pathways into industry and supporting international portability of qualifications. The accreditation process involves a comprehensive review of everything to do with a computing degree programme, including a multi-day campus visit by a panel of academic and industry experts. The process considers whether a program meets the needs of local industry - such as evidence of industry engagement, team-work, practical application of theoretical skills, staff capability, and professional practice.
