I’m interested in certifying - so what’s the process?

A new entrant to the industry will follow a roadmap to attain an appropriate qualification that, combined with pertinent work experience, meets the entrant level MITC Certification Prerequisites.

1. Pick a domain

3. Look at the Syllabus

Download the Domain Syllabus to check the expected knowledge and/or pre-requisites required for your chosen level.

For Levels 1 and 2, a certification assessment must be taken. For Levels 3 and 4, you can elect to get assessed, or you can choose to submit service requirements.

Remember, MITC^TM is not academically based, it’s industry based. It’s about showing what you know in a working industry environment.

4. Enrol for an assessment or review

Once you’ve chosen the appropriate level and domain, register and enrol online. Make sure you have your CV on hand as questions will be asked about qualifications, memberships and employment history. Registering on the site means you can save your application and return to it at any time. It also makes it easier for re-certification as your data will be stored.

5. Attend the assessment or review

Once you have enrolled and completed payment, you will receive a confirmation of enrolment together with time and date of your assessment. You are expected to arrive with your own materials to complete the assessment:

- pens, pencils, eraser, sharpener
- ruler
- approved calculator

Scribbling paper will be provided, however all papers will stay in the assessment room.

6. Receive the result

If you are successful you will receive a notification via email and a certificate posted to you.

If you are unsuccessful, you will be given a 3 month window to re-sit the formal assessment at the discretion of MITC Limited.

This structured approached is designed to create a practical fit and relevance to career opportunities and seniority levels within the industry thereby ensuring that MITC certification is a relevant measure for industry employers and a worthwhile certification for candidates to pursue.
