Normally these should appear after decorations, degrees and chartered letters. Members holding CEng should also display the designatory letters of the institution through which they are registered immediately after the CEng. Conventionally, members holding Chartered status CITP display this immediately after their membership letters e.

BCS provides a range of qualifications both for users of computers and IT professionals. The average user can save up to 21 days a year by improving their typing speed as well as preventing repetitive strain injury RSI. Digital Creator is a set of engaging qualifications that teach digital media skills through creative projects. They are designed for all types and ages of learners - in schools from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4 and in all areas of adult learning.
