Skills Framework for the Information Age
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) is a UK-government backed initiative to attempt to define a competency framework for IT which will describe the roles IT practitioners in the UK fill, the skills needed to fulfil them. SFIA is two dimensional matrix which consists of skills and roles and tasks (subsets of roles) and relates one to the other. In the current version there are 78 skills and 263 tasks.
SFIAplus is a three dimensional matrix which adds a further layer of detail to the SFIA framework. In the current version, version 3, the skills in SFIA are further subdivided into eight skill resources and the SFIA tasks are divided into six task components. SFIAplus also includes detailed training and development resources and provides industry with an effective model for skill training and development.
SFIA and SFIAplus are administered by the British Computer Society as the UK's professional body for Information Technology.
