Engineer74656:

I am looking to start applying for CEng and joined the IET as my work place is advising on this institution. But when I searched for my MEng degree it doesn't appear to have been accredited by IET. However other institutions IMechE, RAeS and IEE have accredited it for CEng.

Does this mean that I need to leave IET and join on of these three institutions instead?


Finally I am confused on what exemplifying qualification means. In the UK SPEC, the competency and commitment for CEng A to E. Does the MEng exemplify an applicant from any of these or does it just give you the ability to simply apply?


Thanks

Hi,


Hopefully the answer to the second question will answer the first one: The degree provides some evidence that you have the underlying knowledge and understanding to meet the competences, but most of it will be shown from your work experience. If you don't have an IET accredited degree then the assessors will look for slightly more evidence from your work experience to show that you have the same level of understanding as someone with an accredited degree. Certainly not something to worry unduly about.


Plenty of applicants achieve CEng through the IET with no degree whatsoever! And probably the majority of IET applicants I advise don't have an accredited degree.


Cheers,


Andy
