TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Professional Registration


ROUTES TO ACCREDITATION


I


n an increasingly global industry, the weight carried by internationally


recognised accreditations will only continue to rise. The Engineering Council's register of individuals who have been admitted under the post-nominals of EngTech, IEng, and CEng, exists to provide a benchmark by which registered engineers can be confidently considered to have reached globally recognised professional standards and competence. In addition to the assurance given to the public, employers, and clients, that registered individuals are universally skilled to a given level within their field, registration provides a useful marker which sets registered engineers apart from the rest of the field, a factor no doubt contributing to the higher earning potential and career


development reported by many registrants. The standards required of registered


engineers transcend experience and qualifications - spanning ethics, sustainability, and professionalism. Critical to an equitable professional registration process, these standards are not predicated on a fixed route; rather the commitment is made to maintain the standards expected and the value they hold, not how they have been reached. To this end, registration can be obtained via a 'standard' or 'non-standard' route, both supported by IHEEM's Membership and Registration Head Office team and nominated committee.


On preliminary application to Head Office for IHEEM membership, decisions issued by the IHEEM Membership Committee will include any relevant Engineering Council registration recommendations. Either further to this or as part of an independent registration application, members are able to contact Head Office to request an application pack, which contains all relevant forms and supporting information to proceed with applying for EngTech, IEng, or CEng status. Our dedicated Membership and Registration teams are on hand throughout this process to handle any queries around the process and required information for application submissions.

The wide-ranging benefits of professional registration positively impact individual accredited persons, their employer, clients, the wider industry, and the general


population. Such registration also improves prospects for engineers, by demonstrating a commitment and recognised standard of competence within the field. The Engineer's 2018 salary survey reported a mean average salary difference of over £8,000, and just over 18%, between those who were professionally registered, and those who were not. Whilst registrants' motivations for seeking


accreditation will vary almost infinitely, the universality of both the umbrella application process, and the recognition of the standards reflected, mean that registration is a marker that can be considered aspirational and achievable for all. At any and all stages of an individual's career, IHEEM's Membership and Registration teams are well-placed to provide support and guidance toward successful registration and retention of their status.
