Information for Awarding Organisations

An Awarding Organisation with an approved qualification may declare that the qualification has been peer reviewed by one or more professional engineering institutions, under licence from the Engineering Council, and approved as meeting the required standards for a given professional title.

Approved qualifications are listed on the Engineering Council’s Database of Technician Qualifications.

The Engineering Council recognised programme logo may be displayed on promotional materials directly associated with the specific qualification that has been approved, and on associated website pages.

How to get qualifications and apprenticeships approved

The key steps are:

• Contact the relevant professional engineering institution as early as possible
  Map your qualification or apprenticeship to the relevant output standards
• Understand the professional engineering institution’s process and requirements
• Once approved, which is normally for up to five years, remember to seek re-approval
