37. Agenda
• The Need for a standard qualification of ICT professional
– The region (ASOCIO)
– Thailand (MICT) Industry certification
• The EUCIP model
– The EUCIP Core
– The EUCIP Administrator
• The ASEAN Model
– Country model
– Cross countries model
38. Thailand Initiative
• Under the Ministry of ICT initiative, Thailand has actively
promoted 2 sets of ICT Standards:
– Core Standards initiation consists of:
• Project Management, Systems Analyst, Security Specialist, etc.
– Professional Certification with special competence in selected areas
(see the following detail)
39. Professional Certification
• Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) offers multiple certifications, based on different areas of
technical expertise (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS), Microsoft Certified
Professional Developer (MCPD), Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) and the Microsoft
Certified Architect (MCA)
• Java Certification offers Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP), Sun Certified Java Associate
(SCJA), Sun Certified Java Developer (SCJD), Sun Certified Web Component Developer
(SCWCD), Sun Certified Developer for Java Web Services (SCDJWS), Sun Certified Enterprise
Architect (SCEA)
• Cisco certification offers Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Cisco Certified Design
Associate (CCDA), Cisco Certified Network Professionals (CCNP), etc.
• CompTia Certification such as CompTia Network+, CompTia Security+, CompTia Linux+, etc.
40. The Complexity of Standards
• Multiple purposes: Classification of professional profiles and
competences
• Ministerial jurisdiction: Different governmental departments are
involved in the definition of competence standards
• Territorial jurisdiction: Global, regional, national, etc.
• Sectoral and corporate-level jurisdiction: within industry or even from
single companies.

41. The EUCIP Model
(European Certification of Informatics Professionals)
The objective of the EUCIP program
• To offer a recognized certification of IT competence at
a standard prescribed by CEPIS (The Council of
European Professional Informatics Societies) for
IT professionals
• The qualification is aimed at practitioners working in
industry, government and public organizations alike
42. The EUCIP Model
(European Certification of Informatics Professionals)
The goals of EUCIP program
• To define an industry-driven standard for Informatics professionals.
• To meet the demands of the increasing market for IT professionals
across Europe.
• To contribute to closing the IT skills gap in Europe.
• To offer a vehicle for life-long learning and competency enhancement
for the IT profession
43. The EUCIP Model
(European Certification of Informatics Professionals)
• A core level: A common body of knowledge that any ICT professional
should be familiar with (3 knowledge areas, 18 categories)
• The Core level provides a solid foundation for all types of IT related
work. It gives a broad knowledge of the fundamental aspects of IT.
– Plan
– Build
– Operate

45. What would be our next move?
• It might be difficult for ASEAN to do the same as EU, have a single set of
standards governed by CEPIS (The Council of European Professional
Informatics Societies)
• For ASEAN, we should adopt a 2-phase approach
1. Each member is in the process of standard development or already has
developed; we should exchange ideas and information and agree to recognize
other’s standard
2. Up to a certain period, the members should unify and normalize the standards to
become an ASEAN IT Professional Standards
46. Recommendations :
• Encourage more exchanging and sharing information
and experience on the current situation on ICT skill
standards including models/best Practices in ASEAN
• A set of key ICT positions should be studied and
consolidated
• Consider to derive the set of skill standard/certification
from existing commercial standards, /i.e those of ISO,
Microsoft, Cisco System. etc.
47. Recommendations :
• ASEAN should unify ICT standards and the
establishment of “ASEAN ICT Professional Standards”
and then set ICT competency.
• ASEAN should set Professional Certification with special
competence in selected areas (Network and Computer
Security Specialist Standard :NCS as First priority )
48. Challenges :
• Most ASEAN Member States are at the initial stage of
developing ICT infrastructure and skills of their ICT professionals.
• Need more strong supports and collaborations from all in the
future to further develop ICT Skills Standard
• This Workshop as a stepping stone towards a more
constructive cooperation between ASEAN to develop ICT skill
standardization in the future
