The benefits of registering with the Engineering Council as a
Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng),
Engineering Technician (EngTech) or Information and Communications
Technology Technician (ICTTech) include:
- Identifying you as having competences that employers value
- Indicating that your competence and commitment to
professionalism have been assessed by other engineering
professionals
- Demonstrating that your competence may be compared with
standards applicable in other parts of the world
- Confirming that your commitment to professionalism is
underwritten by the support of a national engineering institution
or society licensed by the Engineering Council
- International recognition of your qualifications.
As a result, registrants often find
that:
- It is easier to gain promotion or a new job
- Their pay compares favourably with non-registered engineers and
increasingly against other qualified professionals
- They have greater influence within their organisation and
industry
- Their engineering credentials are respected in most parts of
the world
- They have access to a network of similarly qualified and
experienced experts in their field - through their Institution
- Their employers benefit as increasingly, tendering or
post-tender contract compliance requires key members of the project
team to have professional registration.
Institution membership offers additional benefits
including:
- Access to continuous professional development
- Networking
- Information - including a magazine, library facility and
on-line resources
- Careers advice and employment opportunities
- Legal help lines
