Dear Andy/Pushpa,


My understanding is the following:

- CEng and IntPE provide equivalence, i.e. one would not need to prove that one is a "recognised engineer".

- There are countries - e.g. Italy, France, Canada - where certain jobs, typically in public civil engineering (construction), where the project requirements have to be signed off by an engineer registered with the competent authority. I have previously used a comparison with a doctor. One can be a fully recognised doctor in Canada/Italy/... However, to practice in the UK, this doctor would need to be registered in the UK with The General Medical Council's Register which "certifies" that the person has the training, skills and experience needed to meet the standards. If the person is not on the register, or stricken off the register, he/she can not practice medicine in the UK.


Hope the above helps!

Best wishes,

Kirit
