Membership
Currently some participants in this committe are not members of IHE International. This is appropriate, since this committee is still in start up mode. It is agreed that participants of this committee must serve as representatives of an IHE International member organisation from 1st July 2019 on.
About the term "Professional"
Discussion:
- Is the ICP really a "professional" certificate?
- There are many other certified schemes for certified professionals, e.g. ISTQB
- We need to be clear in the scope of the certification
- The business outcomes and the learning outcomes provide a scope
Decision: We agree that the name of the program / scheme remains to be "IHE Certified Professional (ICP)". The certificate issued to graduates of an exam within the ICP program will certify that the cadidate passed this specific exam successfully at a certain point in time. (E.g. "certifies that Ms XY passed the exam for the IHE Certified Professional (ICP) - Foundation Level on 12th December 2019 ..."
ToDo: Stefan and Werner to provide text in the appropriate places to clearly define and describe this, e.g. using the 17024 standard.
ToDo: Stefan and Werner: A template for the certificate will be developed and balloted in this committee as part of the ICP program.
