There is no neat academic equivalence but you can use 'Route B' to Eng Tech which asks for a report showing engineering knowledge as well as competence.

Dear IHIE
In 1999 I successfully passed the Incorporated Professional Review with the Intitution of Civil Engineers. (IENG AMICE)
I only kept my membership and paid the subscription for a further couple of years and therefore no longer a member.
I did consider going back but the fees have risen considerably and all of my work involves highway design approval for a local Authority.
I am considering joining IHIE and my question is whether my old qualification is transferable and what grade of membership I would be eligable for?
My route to IEng was by 18 months post HNC (Civil Engineering) & 20 days CPD. The IPR was achieved by way of 2 reports, interview and an Examination undertaken at the ICE, London.
Many Thanks
Steve Kirby

Dear Sir,
I would like to be a member but I am not sure which one I need to apply for. I have a Civil Engineering degree from Turkey. I checked my degree with Naric to find out What is equilavent in Uk. I was told by NAric that my degree is accepted in UK as a BSc in Civil Engineering. I also work in a Highway, Road safety, Traffic Engineering Consultancy Company more than 3 years. Would you please recommend me which membership is suitable for me to apply.
Best Regards,
