The 'Pocket Guide to Registration' is published annually and provides key information about professional registration with the Engineering Council.

It also explains the relationship between the many organisations working within the professional engineering community and includes profiles of all the professional engineering institutions licensed by the Engineering Council. 

The sheer size and diversity of engineering in the UK means that no one professional body can represent the whole sector. For this reason, there are currently over 50 organisations with such an interest, known informally as the professional engineering  community. They work both collectively and individually with government, industry, academia and a range of other bodies to represent, promote and support the profession, while ensuring that UK registered engineers and technicians maintain the highest standards and reputation globally.

The 2020/21 edition of the 'Pocket Guide to Registration' will be available to view and download by 2 October.
