Engineering Council

The Engineering Council is a signatory to the Dublin Accord.

The Dublin Accord was first signed in 2002. It recognises that the educational base for Engineering Technicians approved or accredited by the signatories delivers outcomes that are substantially equivalent to the Dublin Accord Graduate Attributes.

In the UK Dublin Accord programmes are ones approved for the purpose of Engineering Technician (EngTEch) or ICT Technician (ICTTech) registration, usually one of the following:

• An Advanced/Modern Apprenticeship or other work-based learning programme approved by a licensed professional engineering institution
• A qualification, approved by a licensed professional engineering institution, in engineering or construction set at level 3 (or above) in the Qualifications and Credit Framework/National Qualifications Framework for England and Northern Ireland; or at level 6 (or above) in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework; or at level 3 (or above) in the Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales

The Dublin Accord applies to approval or accreditation by a signatory of qualifications or programmes delivered by higher education institutions within the national or territorial jurisdiction of that signatory. In the case of the Engineering Council, this recognition applies to apprenticeships and qualifications approved for delivery by providers in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland only.
