Why should you use it?
We’re a founding member of the SFIA Foundation which means it’s already available to you through Career Manager. It’s a simple way for you to measure yourself against the framework and put together a progress plan for reaching those areas you’re not fully competent in yet.
Organisations also use the SFIA framework when managing resource or recruiting new employees. It’s good for:
- standardising job roles
- succession planning
- giving a clear description of skills and levels of responsibility
- giving people a common language to define their expertise
- acting as a baseline for capabilities, and
- reducing IT project risks.
You can find more information on our IET EngX community platform where qualified ICTTech technicians give guidance and advice on SFIA and its competences. You can also speak with people at the same stage in their careers as you and share ideas and experiences.
We’re upgrading our systems, and this includes changes to our customer and member account log in, MyIET. It’s part of our big picture plan to deliver a great experience for you and our wider engineering community.
Whilst most of our websites remain available for browsing, it will not be possible to log in to purchase products or access services from Thursday, 17 April to Wednesday, 30 April 2025. Our Member Relations team is here to help and for many of our services, including processing payments or orders, we’ll be able to support you over the phone on +44 (0)1438 765678 or email via membership@theiet.org.
