The Engineering Council no longer operates and manages examinations for professional registration.

From 2001 until 2011 the Engineering Council examinations were administered by City & Guilds of London. As the Engineering Council did not look after the Engineering Council examination from 2001 it does not hold records related to the examination from 2001 and therefore Engineering Council staff cannot answer queries from candidates who completed the examination from 2001 to 2012.

The Engineering Council Examination ceased to be available after 2011, with one last re-sit opportunity offered by City & Guilds in May 2012.

A joint Engineering Council and City & Guilds statement about the cessation of the Engineering Council Examination is available along with answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs).
