This means that from 1 January 2025 they will remain at the 2024 levels including, the £10 discount/ refund that was applied last year. This is another instance of the IHE recognising the financial challenges that our members face and demonstrating that we will continue to work to support the members as much as we can in these difficult times.

Training costs frozen yet again

Training costs will remain static for the time being. The rates have not changed since 2019 despite increases in inflation.

These rates offer terrific value for money and provide a number of specialist training courses leading to an industry-recognised Professional Certificate or Diploma. The Highway Engineering Academy delivers the qualifications, skills and knowledge demanded by the highways industry.

Free Professional Reviews again

Throughout 2025, the IHE is offering free Professional Reviews. So, if you were not quite ready in 2024 to take that step toward professional registration, make 2025 the year to succeed and demonstrate your level of understanding and competence to your peers whether it be at EngTech, Incorporated Engineer or even Chartered Engineer level, all without review fees.

The IHE will continue to show investment in our membership by keeping the costs for its members as low as possible, whether that be membership rates, training or helping you achieve your goal of professional registration.
