comprises two stages - an initial assessment, and the full technical report. The initial assessment in part necessitates the submission of a provisional synopsis of the proposed subject area for the full report. Subsequent to Committee review and issuing of approval to proceed via a technical report route, applicants are then required to submit the report itself. The technical report is a mechanism for
applicants to demonstrate the ways in which their professional engineering experience compensates for the shortfall in academic criteria typically required of candidates for
registration. As such, it is essential that the report content should centre on scenarios for which no previous guidelines or solutions are available, and for which they are able to provide substantive evidence of their relevant experience, thereby constituting the application of engineering principles to Bachelor's level for IEng applicants, or Master's level for CEng. Whilst the criteria and process for
individual route applications are purposefully and rightfully stringent, the framework allows a clear and structured pathway to accreditation for those for whom experience has been gained via a more practical, vocational route.
FAQs > PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION
"How much does it cost to apply for registration?" Registration fees vary depending on the level of registration you are looking to pursue. In most cases there are combined fees payable to both the Engineering Council and IHEEM, which cover entry and annual fees, necessary reports and reviews, and general administration costs.
"How long will it take for my application to be processed?" This is dependent on the application, and subject to the extent of the review process required to submit to the Engineering Council. However, once approved by IHEEM, applications will normally be processed by the Engineering Council within 1-3 weeks of submission, with the exception of the period from mid-December to mid-January. Once added to the register, you will receive a registration pack to the address provided to your chosen institute.
"How should I decide which grade of registration to apply for?" In addition to any recommendations made by our Membership Committee at the time of joining IHEEM, there are resources available both with IHEEM and the Engineering Council which outline the requirements for each grade of registration. Further detail on these resources can be found in the Resources section of this article. Applicants should take the time to consider these requirements and the evidence they are able to provide to support a strong application for their chosen grade.
"How can I apply with qualifications gained from outside the U.K.?" UK-NARIC isthe national agency for providing information on the comparability of qualifications and skills from overseas to U.K. equivalents. It can provide a report of your career path and a letter of comparability, both of which may be used in professional registration assessment.
