Benefits of Registration

The benefits of registering with ECUK 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 ECUK
  • Recognition that you have received education and training that meets UK and international standards for knowledge and experience

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 are more likely to be listened to, whether in the boardroom or the court
  • 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. To read about benefits to employers, click here
