Professional Registration
Becoming a professionally registered engineer demonstrates your high standard of competence and commitment. By choosing to register, you set yourself apart as an engineer with high standards and also demonstrate your commitment to maintain that competence in the future.
Why should you as an employer actively encourage and support employees through the professional registration process?
Our review process involves preparing a report of your experience backed up by evidence and presented at an interview with two registered engineers if you’re applying for CEng or IEng.
If you are considering going forward for your Professional Review (PR), there’s no better time than now.
