Engineering Technician Initiative Developing

Following on from the conference on Engineering Technicians, which was opened by Lord Sainsbury, ECUK, etb and EMSSF have agreed a number of actions to take matters forward:

  • project to encourage more FE teaching staff to gain registration as engineers or technicians
  • series of workshops to explain the advantages to employers of encouraging their workforce to register
  • survey of promotional activities by Institutions and others covering Engineering Technicians
  • further development of links with and from the EngTech website
  • survey of registered Engineering Technicians to seek more information on the sort of services and support they need and value
  • survey of non-registered Technicians
  • review of Sector Skills Council projections of demand for Engineering Technicians

About the Engineering Council


The Engineering Council holds the national registers of Engineering Technicians (EngTech), Incorporated Engineers (IEng), Chartered Engineers (CEng) and Information and Communication Technology Technicians (ICTTech).  It also sets and maintains the internationally recognised standards of competence and ethics that govern the award and retention of these titles. By this means it is able to ensure that employers, government and wider society – both at home and overseas – can have confidence in the skills and commitment of registrants.

To apply for the EngTech, IEng, CEng or ICTTech titles an individual must be a member of one of the 36 engineering institutions and societies currently licensed by the Engineering Council to assess candidates. Applicants must demonstrate that they possess a range of technical and personal competences and are also committed to keeping these up-to-date, and to behaving in a professionally and socially responsible manner.
