e-skills procom consultation

Model description

e-skills procom is an industry-recognised training framework for organising courses and qualifications by the disciplines of the IT profession. Built on IT professional National Occupational Standards, PROCOM defines knowledge, understanding and competencies for seven broad disciplines (and their sub-disciplines) at five levels of progression, incorporating technical, business and personal skills.

This structure will enable employers to identify relevant qualifications and to plan training and development based on a self assessment of needs or on a SFIA-defined job role. e-skills procom will also help providers of education and training to develop new courses to meet the needs of different IT disciplines, and is the basis for e-skills UK's work to reform and simplify the qualifications map for IT professionals.

For details on the 3 concepts the model is based on - ie disciplines, progression and transferable skills - go to the model concepts page.
