'''The Institute for the Certification of Computing Professionals''' (ICCP) is a non-profit ([[501(c)(6)]]) institution for [[professional certification]] in the [[Computer engineering]] and [[Information technology]] industry. It was founded in 1973 by 8 professional computer societies to promote certification and professionalism in the industry, lower the cost of development and administration of certification for all of the societies and act as the central resource for job standards and performance criteria.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Institute for Certification of Computer Professionals |url=https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pages/Organization.aspx?oid=b3532c35-75c4-ea11-a812-000d3a33232a |access-date=2025-07-30 |website=ACE National Guide |language=en-US}}</ref>

The initial certification administered by ICCP in 1973 was the Certified Data Processor (CDP) which was originally created by the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA) in 1965. The institute is a society of Professional Associations, and affiliates across the world with other like organizations with similar goals.

The institute awards a [[professional certification]], Certified Computing Professional (CCP), to individuals who pass a written examination and have at least 48 months experience in computer based [[information systems]]. Post secondary education can be substituted for up to 24 months of this requirement. The ICCP created the Certified Business Intelligence Professional (CBIP) in 2003 and the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) in 2004. Today the ICCP administers the CDMP as the Certified Data Professional (CDP). ICCP also offers Certified Data Scientist (CDS), Certified Big Data Professional (CBDP) and recently added the Certified Blockchain Professional (CBP).

The institute was responsible for creating the Systems Security Exam (today known as the Cyber Security Examination) for the Information Systems Security (ISC) organization which then became the ISC2 organization offering the CISSP. ICCP has also assisted Network Professional Association (NPA) to create and develop its certification program - Certified Network Professional. ICCP also created the Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) in 2004 on a request from one of its constituent societies [[DAMA International]]. In 2015 the ICCP renamed the CDMP to be the Certified Data Professional to make it inclusive of data science and the myriad of data specialty jobs that were emerging.
