Welcome to the IST
The IST is the professional body for specialist, technical and managerial staff. Whilst we have been serving our members for over 75 years, our aim is to continually move forward and expand our horizons so that we can best position ourselves to support our members, and the wider technical community, in respect of their needs within the ever-changing and challenging 21st century.
We reach out to provide focused support for technical practitioners, specialists and managers in the creative, digital, AI, engineering and science technologies, working across a broad range of sectors including industry, local authorities, schools, FE, HE, research/analytical/health facilities, government departments and organisations in the UK and overseas.
We are proud to announce that we hold the registers for AI professionals (RTechAI, RPAI, APAI) and Creative professionals (RPCiT) for individuals working across those essential sectors. We are also licenced by the Science Council to award to their science/technical registers at Chartered Scientist (CSci), Registered Scientist (RSci) and Registered Science Technician (RSciTech) levels.
Come and join us and help us enhance career opportunities for the technical community. More information can be found in our Membership Section, or email memberships@istonline.org.uk.
