 SIP is a professional body, which was established in 1997 with a mandate to establish a standard for its members. Accredited Internet Professional (AIP) designation is recognition of an Internet professional's qualifications and experience in accord with our standards.
AIP is a voluntary certification, designed to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance and identify those, who demonstrate knowledge essential to the best practices of Internet professionals. The SIP designation is key to enhanced recognition of professional stature. Accredited professionals are awarded a plaque, a Pin and AIP digital-seal.
AIP in various streams (web, security, e-Learning, Internet Law, privacy, etc.) is granted by meeting SIP's stream requirements:
• Passing Core Examination or exempted qualifications
• Passing SIP Examination for the selected stream or exempted qualifications
• Professional Experience in the selected stream
• Committing to SIP Code of Ethics and professional conduct.
