About ACP

The Association of Computer Professionals (ACP) is an independent, professional examining body, set up in 1984, its Council Members working in both the education and commercial sectors of the computer industry. The Association's principal aim is to set and maintain standards of education, which reflect the constantly changing requirements of the computer industry, both in the United Kingdom and overseas. This is achieved through the provision of course syllabuses and examinations to our carefully vetted training centres around the world, which in turn provide the expert tuition.
