professional registration eligibility criteria for Incorporate Engineers:
The title IEng is available to anybody capable
of showing the necessary professional competency and commitment, given in the
professional standard UK-SPEC. An individual usually develops this using
education and work experience.
The IEng application process is more
straightforward for those having exemplifying academic qualifications. For
IEng, this is one of the following:
A recognized bachelor’s or honourhonorse in
technology or engineering
A recognized HND or HNC in engineering or
technology (for programs that began before Sept 1999)
An HND or HNC commenced after Sept 1999
(but before Sept 2010 in the case of the HNC) or a Foundation Degree in
technology or engineering with appropriate further learning to degree level
An SVQ4 or NVQ4 that has been approved for
this purpose by a licensed engineering institution with appropriate further
learning to degree level*
Keep
in mind:
An applicant with the exemplifying
qualifications is automatically qualified for interim registration.
To know whether your academic qualification
is recognized for IEng, you should hire a UK-SPEC expert.
One can still become a registered IEng
without these academic qualifications. More information regarding the
individual, work-based, assessment process can be found in UK-SPEC and from the
professional engineering institution of a candidate.
