The IET and Nortel certification programme provides easy access to additional information, training and qualifications for continuing professional development and career progression.

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has signed an agreement with Nortel, a Canadian telecommunications company The agreement will give Nortel's certified technical community a fast track route to IET membership and allow its UK-based engineers and other IT professionals, who attain Nortel certifications, access to IET membership benefits including development and networking opportunities

Robin McGill, IET Chief Executive, said: "Increasingly, the IET is forming partnerships with other technological organisations as part of a collaborative approach to raising standards worldwide".

"We are delighted that Nortel has taken this opportunity to give its UK employees access to the global knowledge network which the IET has established over the years".

"This information base is an acknowledged contributory factor to career success and achieving personal and professional goals".

"The agreement between Nortel and the IET is important in helping to raise the profile of IT personnel worldwide and to addressing the skills shortage in this sector, which is critical if we are to keep pace with technological advancements".

The IET and Nortel certification programme provides easy access to additional information, training and qualifications which are invaluable for continuing professional development and career progression.

Fast track membership means that a sponsor is not required to achieve IET membership with designatory letters.

The agreement enables Nortel to validate the IET certification directly.
