What qualifications do I need

You need the right academic education coupled with initial professional experience at the appropriate level of responsibility. These are broadly set out below.

Look on the EC and JBM websites for accredited qualifications. If yours are not listed do not worry,ring IHE on 020 7436 7487 or email for advice.

The Institute is also happy to individually assess your unique package of qualifications and experience. We need your CV with current responsibilities explained, copies of your further and higher qualification certificates and lists of units studied and a note on any final year project or dissertation. We can also formally advise on top ups you are considering or on Further Learning.

Individual routes forward

Other academic entry qualifications may access other routes, for example:

Further Learning allows BEng(Hons) or senior IEng applicants for CEng or HND applicants for IEng to demonstrate knowledge to the benchmark level from projects at work, by additional academic courses (eg a Postgraduate Diploma) or by a combination of both. IHE needs to give you the go ahead to use this route: look at the Other Routes Document CE4 or Document IE4. Application templates are available. If you pass the further learning assessment, you can follow the standard professional review.

Under the Technical Report Route you submit a Technical Report in which you show engineering knowledge and understanding to the same level as Masters or degree level qualified contemporaries at the same time as submitting for Review. There are two interviews. All is explained in Document CE4 / Document IE4.

Engineering UK often works in tandem with the Royal Academy of Engineering.
