The Institution of Analysts and Programmers

The Institution of Analysts and Programmers is Britain’s leading professional organisation for people who work in the development, installation and testing of business systems and computer software and the only one to represent the interests of Business Analysts.

People join the IAP principally for the prestige and privilege of associating with some of the leading professionals in this sector of the industry. Membership of the Institution clearly demonstrates your professionalism, training, qualifications and experience and can give you the status and recognition that you need to succeed.

Members can call on the support of other members with a wide range of skills. The Institution itself provides a range of practical services to assist members in finding work, overcoming problems and developing their careers.

The IAP has high standards, but if you have the right skills and experience, it is easy to join.
