Abstract

The focus is on a career development program for information systems practitioners currently being used widely by employers in the UK and now becoming available in North America. The performance standards underpinning the program (the British Computer Society Industry Structure Model) have been thoroughly updated and include material specific to the development, maintenance and management of software for safety critical applications. The use of the programs for this purpose and the potential developments in the field of training and registration for safety critical software specialists, which could arise, are discussed
