The Engineering Council has published its Guide to Professional Registration for 2026–2027, providing the latest guidance on how engineers and technicians can achieve professional registration and demonstrate their commitment to high standards. The guide also brings together information on all Licensed Professional Engineering Institutions (LPEIs) and Professional Affiliates (PAs), helping readers find the organisation that best supports their professional journey.
Becoming a Chartered Engineer has strengthened my confidence as a researcher and a professional, while demonstrating my commitment to ethical engineering practice, continuous professional development, and delivering engineering solutions that positively impact both industry and society.
In June this year, Engineering Council’s CEO, Paul Bailey, and Chair, John Chudley, attended a two day international summit, in Salerno, Italy. The second ENAEE – European Accreditation Agencies’ Summit focused on advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within engineering education and accreditation processes.
The Engineering Council would like to congratulate the 28 distinguished registrants elected as Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering, in recognition of their contribution to engineering and society.
New pathway highlights the growing importance of professional competence, ethics and engineering judgment in cyber security. The Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec) and the Engineering Council today announced that CIISec has become the first body dedicated to cyber security to be licensed by the Engineering Council to assess candidates for professional registration.
I recently decided to go a step further and become a Chartered Engineer for Higher-Risk Buildings (HRB), as I wanted to lead by example and show that our industry is prepared to change in response to the Building Safety Act.
This October, the Engineering Council will be joined by the Science Council and Society for the Environment (SocEnv) for a first-ever collaborative webinar examining the value of professional registration across engineering, science and environmental practice.
I chose to become professionally registered to formally recognise my engineering practice and the standards I uphold. It reflects my commitment to the profession and to continual professional development. As an educator, it is also important to lead by example and demonstrate the value of professional recognition to future engineers.
The first Vocational Celebration Day, launched by the Enginuity Group, places a welcome spotlight on skills, opportunity and the future of young people. This national day recognises the value of vocational pathways at a time when GCSE, A level and T level results - due later this month - will shape decisions about progression into further study, apprenticeships and employment.
I pursued professional registration to demonstrate my competence, accountability, and commitment to high standards in fire engineering. It provides independent recognition of my skills, strengthens trust with clients and colleagues, and supports my development. Registration ensures I work responsibly and continuously improve within a discipline that directly affects public safety.
