In today’s lightning-fast tech landscape, staying relevant isn’t just about keeping up – it’s about staying ahead of the curve. EPI’s IT Training Framework tackles this head-on with a groundbreaking approach that’s turning heads in the industry.

The framework is built on two robust pillars: CITO® (Certified Information Technology Operator) and CITM® (Certified Information Technology Manager). What makes this duo special? They’re the first and only vendor-neutral, competency-based IT training programs fully aligned with the European e-Competence Framework (e-CF) – now that’s something to write home about.

Starting with CITO, the 2-day intensive bootcamp is perfect for IT professionals who want to hit the ground running. Think of it as your launchpad into the IT stratosphere – covering everything from basic project management to the nitty-gritty of system administration. It’s designed for both newcomers and those with up to two years of experience who want to sharpen their technical teeth.

Once you’ve got CITO under your belt, CITM takes things to a whole new level. This 3-day deep dive is where IT specialists transform into IT leaders. We’re talking about hardcore skills in everything from vendor management to implementing cutting-edge technologies like Blockchain and AI. It’s perfect for senior pros, team leaders, and managers who need to navigate the complex waters of mission-critical environments.

Both certifications are globally accredited by EXIN, with over 2 million professionals worldwide carrying their stamp of approval.

In an industry where yesterday’s innovation is tomorrow’s old news, having a framework that’s actually aligned with European standards (EN 16234-1) is like finding a unicorn in the server room.

For tech professionals in the US and Canada looking to level up their game, this isn’t just another certification – it’s a career catalyst.
