To become professionally qualified with the
Engineering Council as CEng, IEng, EngTech or
ICTTech you must be a member of a licensed
professional engineering institution, who will act as the awarding
body for your registration.
Licences are granted by the Engineering Council to professional
engineering institutions, allowing them to assess candidates for
inclusion on its Register of professional engineers and
technicians, and to accredit academic programmes and professional
development schemes.
Licensed institutions are deemed to have sufficient experience,
procedures and resources to undertake the following tasks:
- assess the competence and commitment of candidates for
registration
- monitor the continuing professional development of
registrants
- monitor the conduct of registrants
There are currently 35 licensed institutions whose details can
be found below. When choosing which institution to contact it is
best to join one closest to the discipline of engineering you work
in. For some engineers there could be two or three suitable
institutions, in which case you could choose to join more than one,
or contact all those suitable to choose which you would prefer to
join.
