Guide to Professional Registration
for engineers and technicians
2023/2024
Foreword
This Guide to Professional Registration provides key information on becoming professionally
registered with the Engineering Council. As well as guidance on the process of becoming
registered, details of all the professional engineering institutions have also been included to help
support you in finding the most relevant ‘professional home’ for your needs.
Becoming professionally registered with the Engineering Council demonstrates a benchmark
of competence and commitment. This allows the public, employers and their clients to have
confidence and trust that registered engineers and technicians have met globally recognised
professional standards.
Those standards, most notably our UK Standard for Engineering Competence and Commitment
(UK-SPEC), continue to recognise the pace of global change and the need for the profession
to maintain relevance in the face of emerging new areas of engineering and technology.
Developing these standards in line with society’s needs is crucial given that the work engineers
and technicians do is essential and often complex. It is vital that registrants not only possess
and maintain the knowledge, skills and commitment required to meet today’s engineering and
technological needs but also those of future generations.
Becoming registered as a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng), Engineering
Technician (EngTech) or Information and Communications Technology Technician (ICTTech)
demonstrates not only competence against an independent standard but also a commitment to
maintaining and enhancing that competence. This commitment, through carrying out Continuing
Professional Development (CPD) and complying with a Code of Conduct, means registrants
are constantly updating their skills and knowledge ready for the evolving challenges we face.
Importantly, it also ensures that our registrants continue to commit to working in an ethical and
sustainable way.
2
In summary, professional registration, and the protected professional titles that come with it,
identifies an individual as a competent and committed engineering professional.
I hope this guide provides a useful overview of the process of becoming professionally registered
and the institutions that can support achieving such an internationally recognised mark of quality.

Engineering Council
Established in 2002. Earliest forebears: Council of Engineering Institutions (1965) and Engineering
Council UK (2002).
Incorporated by Royal Charter in 1981.
As the UK regulatory body for the engineering profession, the Engineering Council sets and
maintains internationally recognised standards of professional competence and ethics. These
are detailed in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). The
Engineering Council acts as the ‘Council of Engineering Institutions’, impartially representing the
professional engineering community and convening expert opinion about competence, commitment
and professional development.
Mission: To maintain internationally recognised standards of competence and commitment for the
engineering profession, and to license competent institutions to champion the standards for the
deliverance of public benefit.
Vision: That society continues to have confidence and trust in the engineering profession.
Companies House Incorporation number: RC000779
Registered Charity number: 286142

Engineering Council Register
The Engineering Council holds the national Register of over 227,000:
• Engineering Technicians (EngTech)
• Incorporated Engineers (IEng)
• Chartered Engineers (CEng)
• Information and Communications Technology Technicians (ICTTech)
Holders of these titles must be members of a professional engineering institution licensed by
the Engineering Council (these institutions are formally known as Licensees) or, in some cases,
a Professional Affiliate. In order to achieve registered status individuals are assessed by their
institution and found to demonstrate the relevant standard of engineering competence and
commitment. This includes committing to the code of conduct and behaving in an ethical way.
The award and retention of these titles therefore ensures that employers, government and wider
society - both in the UK and overseas - can have confidence in the knowledge, experience and
commitment of engineers and technicians on the Register.
In addition, there are around 7,000 engineers and technicians on the national Register holding
interim registration having registered their intention to work towards one of the professional titles
above. Learn more about interim registration.
7
International context
The Engineering Council is committed to supporting its professionally registered engineers and
technicians working in the UK and in other countries. The professional titles EngTech, ICTTech,
IEng and CEng are widely recognised around the world. Professional registration, as defined in
UK-SPEC, reflects the requirements of global engineering.
Engineers who have developed their professional engineering competence in countries outside of
the United Kingdom are welcome to join the Engineering Council register, subject to meeting the
assessment criteria.
For further information, please see International recognition (page 38 of this guide) or:
www.engc.org.uk/international
Governance
The Engineering Council is governed by a Board of Trustees, who are appointed in accordance
with its Bye-laws. Fifteen are appointed to represent the licensed professional engineering
institutions, and seven are appointed by EngineeringUK to represent industry. Much of the
organisation’s work is undertaken through the assistance of numerous volunteers and also
through committees and panels, which comprise wide industry representation.

Professional registration
What is professional registration?

• The process in which an individual is admitted to the Engineering Council’s Register as
EngTech, IEng, CEng or an ICTTech.
• It verifies that an individual can meet the engineering and technological needs of today, while
also anticipating the needs of, and impact on, future generations.
• To achieve professional registration the individual must demonstrate, via a peer review
process by a licensed professional engineering institution, that they have met the profession’s
Standards of commitment and competence, and commit to development through Continuing
Professional Development (CPD).
• Both in the UK and overseas, professional registration gives employers, government and
society confidence in registered engineers and technicians.
• Individuals who have been awarded a professional registration title may use the relevant
post-nominal.
• It is open to any competent practising engineer or technician, with different levels and pathways
to registration available.
• People who gain further qualifications or experience over the course of their careers can be
assessed for another registration title. Many people continue to develop their competence to
enable them to move from EngTech to IEng or CEng, or from IEng to CEng.
14
Why register?
The post-nominals EngTech, IEng, CEng and ICTTech provide benefits for individuals, including
recognition, career development, earning potential.
Professional registration sets individual engineers and technicians apart from those who are not
registered. Gaining a professional title establishes a person’s proven knowledge, understanding
and competence to a set standard and demonstrates their commitment to developing and
enhancing competence.
• Greater influence within own organisation and industry
• Demonstration of work ethic valued by employers and customers
• Improved career prospects and employability
• International recognition of competence and commitment
• Evidence of expertise and hard work
• Enhanced status leading to higher self-esteem
• Credibility with peers across the profession
• Recognition as authorised countersignatory.
Further benefits for individuals are available at:
www.engc.org.uk/benefits
Read our case studies of how registration
has benefitted the careers of professional
engineers and technicians across
numerous sectors.
15
Benefits for employers:
There are many benefits for organisations that employ professionally registered engineers and
technicians, including assurance of quality.
These include:
• Globally accepted assurance that the employee has satisfied a rigorous assessment of their
engineering competence
• Increased technical and managerial credibility
• Confirmation that the engineering credentials being claimed are actually held
• Internationally recognised titles enable greater flexibility in staff mobility
• Positive impact on recruiting and retention, and indication of commitment to staff
• Possible mitigation of potential liabilities if an accident or incident occurs as registrants are
governed by a Code of Professional Conduct
• Knowledge that registered employees have a personal obligation to abide by a code of conduct
• Enhanced company reputation through ethical behaviour
• A means to satisfy requirements of Quality Management Systems eg ISO 9001.
Maintaining registration requires continued membership of a licensed professional engineering
institution, or Professional Affiliate with a registration agreement, and a commitment to CPD. This
means employers can be reassured that registered employees are developing and enhancing
their competence and will be exposed to new developments in their profession.
Further benefits for employers are available at: www.engc.org.uk/employers
16
Benefits for society:
• Society can have confidence in the work of professionally registered engineers and technicians
whether they operate in the UK or globally
• Assurance of ethical and sustainable behaviour.

How to become professionally registered
The first step to registration is membership of one of the professional engineering institutions
licensed to assess candidates, or a Professional Affiliate with the relevant registration agreement.
Licensed professional engineering institutions are listed on pages 46-49 of this guide and on the
Engineering Council website.
The institution will assess the individual’s qualifications, training and experience against UK-
SPEC or ICTTech requirements and advise if anything further is required. Many institutions can
also help with finding a suitable mentor.
The assessment process – known as a Professional Review – starts with a written application
based on the requirements of the institution. A detailed description of the format for this will be
provided by the institution. For EngTech qualifications, depending on the licensed professional
engineering institution, there may be an interview, or it may simply be a one-stage process
assessing an applicant’s submitted written evidence. For CEng and IEng titles the Professional
Review process has two stages: an assessment of written evidence and then an interview.
Once the registration criteria have been met, the institution will submit a registration form to the
Engineering Council on behalf of the candidate.
22
Eligibility
Professional registration is open to everyone who can:
• Demonstrate both competence to perform professional work to the necessary standards, and
commitment to maintain their competence
• Work within professional codes
• Participate actively within the profession.
Knowledge, understanding and skills form an essential part of competence. This provides the
necessary foundation of underpinning logic and analytical capabilities. Knowledge, understanding
and skills ensure that decisions are based on a full understanding of engineering practices and
standards, rather than relying on instructions.
Formal education is one way of demonstrating the necessary underpinning knowledge and
understanding, but it is not the only way. Many potential registrants have not had formal training
to the required level but are able to demonstrate they have acquired the necessary underpinning
knowledge through substantial work experience. Applicants who have acquired their underpinning
knowledge and understanding through experiential learning or other qualifications can submit the
relevant information to their licensed professional engineering institution for an initial assessment.
23
Pathways to professional registration
Step 1:
Recognised qualifications Individual assessment
Step 2:
Professional Review of competence and commitment
Applicants are assessed against the UK-SPEC or ICTTech standard
Professional Review Interview (PRI)
All IEng and CEng applicants will be interviewed by a panel of registered engineers
Step 3:
The recommendation from the Professional Review is reviewed by
the PEI’s relevant committee.

licensed professional engineering institution.
• IEng: an accredited Bachelors degree The exact process is set out by the institution.
• CEng: an accredited integrated Masters
degree or a combination of accredited
Bachelors and Masters degrees.
25
Step 2:
Professional Review of competence and commitment
Applicants are assessed against the UK-SPEC or ICTTech standard of competence which sets
the minimum requirements. Licensed professional engineering institutions may add requirements
which relate to their particular engineering discipline.
An expert panel, consisting of registered engineers from the licensed professional engineering
institution, will review an applicant’s portfolio of evidence against the requirements.
This is followed by:
Professional Review Interview (PRI)
All IEng and CEng applicants will be interviewed by a panel of registered engineers who are also
members of the licensed professional engineering institution. EngTech applicants may need to
attend a Professional Review Interview.
The panel will then make a recommendation on whether the applicant meets the requirements for
their chosen registration category.
26
Step 3:
The recommendation from the Professional Review is reviewed by the licensed professional
engineering institution’s relevant committee. The applicant will achieve professional registration if:
• The expert panel recommends that the applicant has met the requirements
• All are satisfied that all stages of the process have been completed, and
• The licensed professional engineering institution’s relevant committee endorses the
recommendation.
The applicant then becomes a registrant and is able to use the relevant post-nominal. As a
condition of continued registration, the individual commits to:
• Maintain their competence through continuing professional development (CPD) and
membership of their licensed professional engineering institution, and
• Adhere to their licensed professional engineering institution’s Code of Professional Conduct.
If an applicant has been unsuccessful the licensed professional engineering institution will provide
some guidance on what further learning and/or competence development would be beneficial to
achieve registration.
When all the above steps are completed to the satisfaction of the licensed professional
engineering institution’s relevant committee, the applicant achieves professional registration.
They commit to maintain their CPD and membership of their licensed professional engineering
institution and to adhere to its Code of Professional Conduct.
27
The Standards
UK-SPEC and ICTTech Standard

Professional registration with the Engineering Council is based on demonstration of
competence and commitment. The UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence
(UK-SPEC) describes the competence and commitment requirements that have to be met
for registration as an EngTech, IEng or CEng. The ICTTech Standard provides the same
information, but for ICTTech registration. Both Standards include examples of activities
that could demonstrate achievement of the professional registration requirements, to
enable individuals and employers to find out whether they or their staff can meet the
requirements. Academic and vocational qualifications that exemplify the required knowledge
and understanding are also listed, however, it should be noted that there are other ways of
demonstrating achievement.
UK-SPEC and the ICTTech Standard also contain an explanation of the steps necessary to
achieve professional registration; the requirement to maintain and enhance competence once
registered; and the obligations to act with integrity and in the public interest that are placed on
registrants through their membership of a licensed professional engineering institution.
The Engineering Council revises the Standards every five years. The latest editions are
available at: www.engc.org.uk/standards
28
UK-SPEC HRB
The Engineering Council also offers professional registration for engineers and technicians
who work on higher-risk buildings (HRBs). This requires assessment against a new Standard:
The UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence and Commitment Contextualised
for Higher-Risk Buildings (UK-SPEC HRB).
UK-SPEC HRB incorporates building safety competence criteria, such as fire safety, structural
safety, and public health. For more information, including those licensed professional
engineering institutions who are able to award professional HRB registration, please visit:
https://www.engc.org.uk/hrb
What is competence?
Competence is defined as a professional’s ability to carry out engineering tasks successfully
and safely within their field of practice. This includes having the individual skills, knowledge and
understanding, personal behaviour and approach, to be able to work collaboratively with others to
achieve the intended outcomes.
Competence includes the ability to make professional judgments and an awareness of the limits
of one’s own ability and knowledge in order to seek assistance when required.
29
What is professional commitment?
Registered engineering professionals are required to demonstrate a personal and professional
commitment to society, to the environment and to their profession. As part of demonstrating
overall competence, it is mandatory to show that they have adopted a set of values and conduct
that maintains and enhances the reputation of the profession. This includes:
• Maintaining public and employee safety
• Undertaking work in a way that protects the environment and contributes to sustainable
development
• Complying with codes of conduct, codes of practice and the legal and regulatory framework
• Managing, applying and improving safe systems of work
• Carrying out the CPD necessary to maintain and enhance competence in relation to duties and
responsibilities
• Exercising responsibilities in an ethical manner
• Recognising inclusivity and diversity
• Adopting a security-minded approach
• Actively participating within the profession.
30
Maintaining and enhancing competence
Candidates applying for professional registration must be committed to CPD, which is essential
for maintaining and enhancing the required competence and commitment, as well as for
developing new competences. It underpins the value of the professional titles of EngTech,
ICTTech, IEng and CEng, and enables society to have confidence in the engineering profession.
CPD has several purposes:
• To assure continuing competence in a current job
• To prepare for a different role
• To follow a longer-term career development plan
• To enhance professionalism in a wider context than a specific job role.
Registrants will be required to show evidence that they have taken steps to ensure this
commitment, and that they intend to continue to do so in line with the CPD Code for Registrants.
The licensed professional engineering institutions sample registrants’ CPD records each year and
provide feedback on submitted samples. Submitting a CPD record is mandatory for registered
engineers and technicians.
31
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Code for Registrants
Engineering Technicians, Incorporated Engineers, Chartered Engineers and ICT Technicians
should take all necessary steps to maintain and enhance their competence through CPD. In
particular, they should:
• Take ownership of their learning and development needs and develop a plan to indicate how
they might meet these, in discussion with their employer, as appropriate
• Carry out a variety of development activities, both in accordance with this plan and in response
to other opportunities which might arise
• Record their CPD activities
• Reflect on what they have learned or achieved through their CPD activities and record these
reflections
• Evaluate their CPD activities against any objectives they have set and record this evaluation
• Review their learning and development plan regularly, following reflection and assessment of
future needs
• Support the learning and development of others through activities such as mentoring and
sharing professional expertise and knowledge
At Professional Review, all applicants will need to demonstrate how they meet their CPD
obligations and show that they understand that this requires an ongoing commitment.

www.engc.org.uk/cpd
32
mycareerpath®
mycareerpath® is an online tool for engineers and technicians to plan, record and evaluate
their professional development (PD). Users can record activities and experience that
contribute to their PD and build up a body of evidence that can be shared with institutions,
employers or colleagues.
mycareerpath® is aligned with UK-SPEC for EngTech, IEng, CEng and the ICTTech Standard.
mycareerpath® is managed by the Engineering Council, and many licensed professional
engineering institutions and Professional Affiliates are currently licensed to offer the system to
their members.
Guidelines for Institution Codes of Professional Conduct

All registrants are expected to observe the requirements of the Code of Conduct of the institution
they have joined.
The Code of Professional Conduct of each licensed professional engineering institution and each
Professional Affiliate is a key element of the contract of membership between the member and
the Institution. This Code places a personal obligation on members to act with integrity and in
the public interest. It also refers to the Statement of Ethical Principles, published jointly by the
Engineering Council and the Royal Academy of Engineering.
33
Recognised qualifications
Accreditation of degrees
Accreditation offers a mark of assurance that a degree programme will provide a student with
some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills that will set them in good
stead for eventual professional registration.
The Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP) is referred to by the Quality
Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) in the subject benchmark statement for
engineering.
Degree programmes may be accredited by one or more of the professional engineering
institutions licensed to do so by the Engineering Council. Importantly, engineering employers
as well as academics are involved in the setting of standards, in advising on programme
developments, in reviewing degrees and in the decision-making process about whether to confer
accredited degree status. Accredited status confers market advantage to Higher Education
Institutions (HEIs) and provides a structured and rigorous mechanism ensuring the quality and
relevance of degree programmes, and the opportunity for licensed professional engineering
institutions and HEIs to work together for mutual benefit and public good.
34
Recognition of qualifications and programmes
recognised programme rhaglen gydnabyddedig

engc.org.uk/courses engc.org.uk/courses
Non-degree qualifications and programmes (including higher apprenticeships) may be recognised

(approved or accredited) by licensed professional engineering institutions.
The recognition process assesses whether a programme provides some, or all, of the knowledge,
understanding and competence required for professional registration.
A recognised qualification or programme is not necessary for registration - there are other routes
(see Pathways to registration, page 24).
The approval process looks at the overall design, coverage and assessment strategy for
programmes that may be delivered in multiple locations and seeks evidence that satisfactory
quality assurance arrangements are in place. Accreditation looks at programmes delivered in a
specific location.
A qualification from a recognised course is not necessary for registration - there are other routes.

NB: The registration entry fee includes the first year’s registration fee.
Details of current registration fees and international registration fees are available at:
www.engc.org.uk/fees
36
How the fees are used
Initially the fees are paid to the licensed professional engineering institution through which the
individual is registered. The institution then passes them on to EngineeringUK, who in turn make
a grant to the Engineering Council to keep the standards under review, operate the Register and
quality assure the licensed professional engineering institutions. The remaining sum is used by
EngineeringUK to promote the engineering profession. This includes producing EngineeringUK’s
research reports and briefings, supporting the Tomorrow’s Engineers programme and The Big
Bang Fair.
Lapsed registration
A registrant may be reinstated to the Register within three years of lapsing, but will be
required to pay an administrative fee. If the registration has lapsed for more than three years,
the individual must reapply to one of the licensed professional engineering institutions and will
be subject to a full professional review. For further details on reinstatements and the process for
readmission to the Register, please contact your institution.
37
International recognition
Professional registration with the Engineering Council is open to anyone who is able to
demonstrate they have attained the relevant competences, regardless of nationality or location.
The main focus of the organisation’s international activity falls in two areas:
• Ensuring that the standards set in the UK are globally recognised
• Facilitating the international mobility of engineering professionals.
To do this, the Engineering Council works with numerous national, regional and international
engineering organisations on a number of specific mutual recognition agreements and facilitates
compliance with UK legislation that supports the recognition of professional qualifications.
The Engineering Council is a founder member of the International Engineering Alliance (IEA),
an umbrella group that oversees seven international agreements relating to the recognition
of standards for the accreditation of engineering education and professional engineering
competence. This includes acting as the UK signatory to three international education accords in
addition to the membership of three professional competence agreements. These accords and
agreements can streamline the requirements for registration in each of the signatory countries.
38
Within Europe, the Engineering Council is the UK National Member of ENGINEERS EUROPE,
which aims to facilitate the mutual recognition of engineering qualifications in Europe and to
strengthen the position, role and responsibility of engineers in society. The Engineering Council
is also a founder member of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education
(ENAEE), which promotes mutual recognition of engineering education programmes accredited to
a European framework.
Further information is available on the Engineering Council website at:
www.engc.org.uk/international
The right to practice engineering is regulated differently in different countries, and some areas of
work (usually safety-related) may be restricted to licensed or otherwise approved persons. While
UK professional registration does not automatically meet these requirements in every jurisdiction,
it does represent an internationally-recognised standard of professional competence.
39
Guidance for professional engineers and technicians
The Engineering Council has produced guidance material for professional engineers and
technicians on their roles and responsibilities in dealing with sustainability, risk, whistleblowing,
ethics and security. This guidance is intended also to be of help to all those working in
engineering. They are all fully compatible with UK-SPEC, and include principles to guide and
motivate. Each publication is available to view and download at: www.engc.org.uk/guidance
Ethical principles
The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Engineering Council
have jointly created a Statement of Ethical Principles to guide
engineering practice and behaviour, which includes four fundamental
ENGINEERING COUNCIL
ROYAL ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING
principles, designed to form the core of the codes of conduct

published by the licensed professional engineering institutions.
These express the beliefs and values of the profession, which the
Engineering Council believes all those engaged in engineering
should work in accordance with.

Risk ENGINEERING COUNCIL
Risk is inherent in the activities undertaken by engineering

professionals, and members of the profession have a significant
role to play in managing and limiting risk. All professional engineers
and technicians are under a personal obligation to maintain and
enhance their competence in their area of practice. The generic, top
level and profession-wide Guidance on Risk establishes principles RISK
to help professional engineers and technicians ensure that risk
is an important consideration in all their engineering activity. The GUIDANCE ON RISK
six principles help to guide individuals in identifying, assessing,

managing and communicating about risk.

Security
Security can be defined as the state of relative freedom from threat or harm caused by deliberate,
unwanted, hostile or malicious acts. It operates on a number of levels ranging from national
security issues to countering crime. Guidance on Security sets out six principles to guide
engineers and technicians in identifying, assessing, managing and
communicating issues about security.

Sustainability
Engineering professionals have a significant role to play in helping
ENGINEERING COUNCIL
society achieve a more sustainable way of living. They work to

enhance the welfare, health and safety of all, paying due regard to
the environment and the sustainability of resources. The Guidance
on Sustainability sets out six principles to support professional
engineers and technicians when making decisions for clients,
ENGINEERING COUNCIL
employers and society that affect sustainability.

GUIDANCE ON SUSTAINABILITY
Whistleblowing
Whistleblowing is defined by the UK Whistleblowing
Commission as ‘the raising of a concern, either within the
www.engc.org.uk/sustainability
workplace or externally,
about a danger, risk,
malpractice or wrongdoing which affects others’.
Guidance on Whistleblowing provides support to
engineers and technicians when confronted by a
potential whistleblowing situation. It sets out the
processes that engineers and technicians should follow
in raising such a concern, and where to get advice.
42
