Cpp Institute

C++ Institute is an international project launched in 2011 under the auspices of Fundacja IT, a non-profit organization whose primary activity revolves around supporting initiatives that promote the idea of building a modern, educated and digital society.

C++ Institute brings together a committed community of IT professionals, programming specialists, programming enthusiasts, education establishments, training organizations, companies, and volunteers who strive for quality development, assessment excellence and popularization of programming in C and C++ languages.

C++ Institute has defined global certification paths for the C and C++ programming languages and has developed an international C/C++ examination standard.

C++ Institute is recognized as the world's leading organization to offer a high-stakes C/C++ certification programme, allowing candidates to test at thousands of accessible and secure testing centres worldwide.

Candidates can take a number of certification exams of various competency levels (Associate, Professional and Senior) at over 5,000 Pearson VUE® Authorised Test Centres and Pearson VUE® Authorised Test Centre Selects at a time and location convenient to them.

One of the primary goals of C++ Institute is to set the standard of skills as well as provide development opportunities for individuals who wish to pursue a career in C/C++ programming.

C was developed in the 1960s and 70s and is one of the most widely used programming languages of all time. C++ was developed in the 1980s and 90s and the C++ Institute offers the first recognised certification of its kind.

There are more than 3 million C/C++ programmers worldwide but still the shortage of programmers on the job market is almost five times bigger than in any other IT specialisation.
