My degree hasn't been accredited by IET have I joined the wrong Institution?

Former Community Member

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

    Thank you all for the replies, it is much appreciated. 

    Ok it seems there is much more to it that I need to consider...I definitely need to seek advice from a PRA.


    In terms of my degree accreditation, I just did a search via the engineering council and it stated IEE, IMechE and RAeS so id didn't realise IEE no longer existed. Ref 1524 Aerospace MEng University of Liverpool.


    My employers suggestion to join IET seems correct as I work in the electricity distribution industry however with my degree being Aerospace (which did contain a lot of electrical modules) I may need to provide more on the job K&U evidence based on your replies.


    Thanks for clearing this up for me. I just thought having an exemplifying qualification might have meant I did not need to demonstrate parts of the competences i.e. A1. Such as people with accountancy degrees don't have to take all of the chartered accountant exams. But it seems that isn't the case logically speaking as there's much more to it.


    Overall it seems I may have joined the correct institution because its directly related to the industry I am working in. its just my degree isn't.
