CIWEM is licensed by the Engineering Council to award Chartered
Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and Engineering
Technician (EngTech) status for suitably qualified applicants.
Should you wish to register, your eligibility will be considered by
the Engineering Professional Board (EPB) at the same time as your
application for membership is being processed. The EPB comprises of
Chartered Engineers, Incorporated Engineers and Engineering
Technicians.
You may apply for external registration with the Engineering
Council by satisfying the following criteria:
- Academic qualifications
- A period of relevant training and
experience
Academic

An Engineering Council accredited Bachelors degree with Honours
in engineering or technology, plus either an appropriate Masters
degree or appropriate further learning to Masters level
OR an Engineering Council accredited integrated
MEng degree

the Scottish Qualification and Credit Framework OR
the City and Guilds Higher Professional Diploma in Engineering
OR a Technical Certificate as part of an approved
Advanced Modern Apprenticeship Programme OR an

Many applicants wishing to register with the Engineering Council
have qualifications that were not originally accredited by them. If
your qualification is not fully accredited by the Engineering
Council, CIWEM's Qualifications Panel can assess your academic
achievements for CEng, IEng or EngTech registration, and either
accepts them as they are or recommend a route to registration.
The academic assessment is recommended for the
following:
- Individuals with UK or overseas engineering qualifications
which are not accredited (or recognised under international
accords)
- Individuals who have qualifications that fall short of the
exemplifying qualifications
- Individuals who have qualifications in cognate subjects, or
have no relevant qualifications
If any of the categories above are relevant to you, you can
apply for assessment when you apply to become a Graduate,
Associate or Chartered Member of the Institution. To
apply for the ICP procedure, you must be in, or applying for a
grade of membership. We would advise that any potential
members complete the assessment as soon as possible, in case any
additional study is required.
