About the Engineering Council


The Engineering Council holds the national registers of Chartered Engineers (CEng), Incorporated Engineers (IEng), Engineering Technicians (EngTech) 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 CEng, IEng, EngTech or ICTTech titles an individual must be a member of one of the 35 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.
