Concessionary route via IntPE

Hi

If i am having a IntPE qualification Korea, Australia or any country under the jurisdiction, is there a concessionary route to have IET CEng or IntPE membership category?

For UK engineers the requirement for achieving IntPE is set out below:

https://www.theiet.org/career/professional-registration/international-professional-registration/international-professional-engineer/

From the description it's suggesting that if you have a valid IntPE from a member jurisdiction, then your application for CEng MIET would proceed via a fast track route. I would have thought that you should at least be entitled to MIET pretty much immediately (via fast track of course) and then you can proceed with your CEng application quicker than the normal route.

In many job roles you don't necessarily need to have CEng status to work as a Professional Engineer in the UK; so you could just settle for IntPE MIET after your name. Personally, I would consider that equivalent to CEng MIET

There are more experienced members here who can provide more detailed description of the application process.

Hope that helps.

I just realised, after seeing your profile, that you already are a member of the IET (MIET). So if you have IntPE from another member Jurisdiction, you're already entitled to have IntPE MIET after your name.

For information, the placement of designatory letters by IET members is described here:-
https://www.theiet.org/membership/manage-your-membership/using-designatory-letters/
I suggest that if the IntPE registration fees are paid through a Professional Engineering Institution (PEI) in another jurisdiction rather than through the IET to Engineering Council UK the usual placement of designatory letters with concurrent IET membership would be MIET IntPE followed by the designatory letters awarded by the PEI through which IntPE is concurrently obtained.
I became aware of this format during my time as a PRA.

As for paying concessionary membership fees, the following link provides that information:

https://www.theiet.org/membership/become-a-member/fees/reduced-membership-fees/

The only option for qualifying for reduced fees, are: retirement at age over 65; or having a reduced income below £24000.

I'm not sure how this translates to overseas members, but you can contact membershipservices@theiet.org for assistance.

Hi Christopher

Thanks for providing the link which is very useful to know.

However the advice doesn't indicate where the IntPE should be placed alongside CEng MIET if all the titles were obtained through the IET?

Would it be:

CEng MIET IntPE

or

CEng IntPE MIET

or

IntPE CEng MIET

Once that is established, then the order in which an overseas engineer can place their professional credentials - where CEng (or PEng) and IntET were obtained via an overseas PEI together with their MIET (or FIET) can be established.

Very good question, mbirdi.
Looking at the IET example for A B Smith OBE CEng FRAeS FIET the location of CEng would indicate the CEng registration was obtained through RAeS, not IET. Extending that example to the other Engineering Council (UK) registrations such as IntPE(UK) would require the IntPE(UK) post-nominal to be placed before MIET or FIET if the IntPE(UK) registration was obtained through the IET.
So either IntPE(UK) CEng MIET or CEng IntPE MIET (all obtained through the IET) would, in my view, meet the IET criteria.
My preference, when I was admitted to the International register of Engineering Technologists, was for IntET(UK) IEng FIET. I am a lapsed IntET(UK) because, after the 5 year initial registration and my retirement, I did not consider renewal to be a priority.
Could an IET staff member reply to this thread and consider including an example of IntPE(UK) and IntET(UK) in the designatory letters section of the website please?
Keep safe,
Chris Danzelman.
GCGI (Engineering) IEng FIET LRPS (I obtained the GCGI because of my IEng but I consider it to be a qualification that goes before the registrations because City and Guilds invited me to a graduation ceremony to recieve it).

Hi Chris,

Thanks for looking into this matter further, and hope the IET do add IntPE and IntET to the relevant webpage.

By the way, off topic, are you a photographer based on the LRSP after your name?

Hi mbirdi,

A hobbyist photographer, and winner of a few competitions, yes.

LRPS was something I was interested in during my younger days but I waited until retirement, and the advent of digital media, to build my portfolio.. I included my titles to, I hope, indicate there is significance in the order of their presentation.
