SFIA Accredited Partner logo

A significant number of employers have created their IT organisation job profiles using the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA).

SFIA provides a standardised view of the wide range of professional skills needed by people working in Information Technology. By combining the SFIA skills required for professional profiles and/or job descriptions a skills development path can be identified.

The diagram below shows how IT professional job categories map on to the SFIA levels. Click on an arrow to view job profiles in each category. You can find out more about the SFIA levels by clicking on 1-7.
