Since 2010, ITU has published the technical officials’ certification lists according to the ITU Technical Officials’ Certification procedure. All the technical officials’ activities (assigned events, education seminars and more) are recorded in the ITU Technical Officials’ database. Currently, there are more than 3000 technical officials from 90 countries, included on these lists.

Overall, the figures from the last certification in 2010 to these in 2011 show a 13 per cent increase in the certified ITU Technical Officials from the last certification, from 717 to 815 worldwide. There is a 13 per cent increased in the certifield ITU Level 1 TOs (NTO), a 10 per cent increase in the certified ITU Level 2 TOs (CTO), and a 50 per cent increased in the number of certified Level 3 TOs (ITO).
