Entry into the Affiliate grade is immediate on payment of the appropriate fee. For other applications, the more information you provide with your application the quicker we can process it. If we have to arrange a Professional Review Interview for you, please allow approximately three months for the process to be completed.

 

You will only need to attend a PRI if you are applying for and found to be academically qualified for IEng or CEng registration. 

 

We try to arrange your interview as locally as possible and we will discuss the best location for you to attend.  If you have a special request, such as being interviewed where you work instead of where you live simply let the IAgrE Membership Department know. 

 

There is no difference. "Registration" refers to the "professional qualification registers", i.e.

The Membership Department can provide guidance notes for the PRI process. 

 

 

Registration with the EngC and/or SocEnv should be seen as additional professional qualifications which will provide you with national and international recognition of your engineering and/or environmental competence through the use of one (or more) of the designations EngTech or IEng or CEng or CEnv. 

 

This demonstrates that you have met the national benchmark standard of qualification and competence to practice as either an Engineering Technician, Incorporated Engineer, Chartered Engineer or Chartered Environmentalist. 

 

In the case of engineering professional qualifcations, you will also be recognised under European Directives as having an equivalent level of qualification and experience as your European peers. In many European countries you cannot practise as an engineer unless you are officially recognised. This may mean the completion of examinations, assessments and even practical, supervised experience. Engineering Council registration will provide you with exemption from most of these requirements. 

 

The Engineering Council also works to promote awareness of the roles and responsibilities of all types of engineers. Registrants receive periodic updates on issues such as new legislation and other matters (which may impact on, or even restrict, their work as engineers.

 

Similarly, the Society for the Environment works to promote awareness of sustainable development and seeks to Influence government, policymakers and opinion-formers on all aspects of the environment and sustainability. 

 

Yes. You can be a Chartered Environmentalist as well as hold one of the professional  qualifications from the EngC. For instance John Smith IEng CEnv MIAgrE 

 

The UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) describes the value of becoming registered as an Engineering Technician (EngTech), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). It describes the requirements that have to be met in order to gain these qualifications, and gives examples of ways of doing this.

 

UK-SPEC should enable individuals and employers to find out whether they or their staff can meet the requirements, and explains the steps necessary to achieve professional registration with the Engineering Council.  Our registrants carry many responsibilities, including the need to observe a professional code of conduct. These are described within UK-SPEC together with advice on how to maintain registration.

 

UK-SPEC is published by the Engineering Council on behalf of the UK engineering profession.  The standard has been developed, and is regularly updated, by panels representing professional engineering institutions (PEIs), employers and engineering educators.
