First virtual drop-in session a success

  • Wednesday February 16, 2022

By Mark Fleming, IHE Mercia Branch Chair

The IHE Mercia Branch hosted their first virtual professional registration drop-in session in November last year.

This was a fantastic opportunity for Mercia Branch members to discuss their professional registration applications with IHE reviewers and other members, especially in light of the Engineering Council’s changes to the specifications for each professional registration grade, which the IHE has adopted.

The Mercia Branch will aim to host these drop-in sessions more frequently. However, please do not wait for these sessions to be arranged – if you have any queries please get in touch with us at mercia@theihe.org so that we can provide advice.

I want to thank those of you who attended the session as well as the committee members, IHE reviewers and mentors who volunteered to assist with this drop-in session. We are always looking to improve, so if there is anything you believe we can do better, please let us know. You can contact us via email – mercia@theihe.org.
