Benefits for you

Registration sets a professional Engineering Technician (EngTech) apart from technicians who are unregistered.

It gives an edge to people who have achieved it and to the businesses they work with.

  • Personal development (part of CV development and opportunities to widen career choices).
  • Self esteem (satisfaction of achieving an independent, well established, internationally recognised award).
  • Client confidence (knowing you can assure consistent service).
  • Employer assurance (demonstrated competence to contribute professionally to the business).

Median annual basic pay for registered Engineering Technicians in 2006 was £33,000; Mean - £37,599. This does not include any bonus or commission payments.

EngTech is a valuable, portable, internationally recognised award that can be carried throughout your career, demonstrating your competence and your commitment to a professional approach.

Engineering Technicians, Incorporated Engineers, and Chartered Engineers are all essential for the UK to have a healthy economy. However, demand for Engineering Technicians far exceeds that for the other two categories.

For EngTechs who want further progression, IEng and CEng represent a consistent development route.
