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

    Hi Andy, 

    Yes,  I agree.  I think,  for that reason,  I deliberately said it MAY not be the right institution,  especially if it makes the candidate's ability to meet the requirements more difficult, or means the services offered by the institution are not appropriate to their needs. 


    I feel that this is the least important part of both the question and my response - as I said,  and I see others have also said,  k&u can,  and often is demonstrated by other means than an accredited degree. 


    The far more important feature of the post that prompted me to respond was that of whether holding an accredited qualification removed the need to demonstrate competence across competences A to E, which,  of course it doesn't. I felt the need to convey to the OP how much further the requirements for C.Eng go beyond simply holding an accredited qualification,  and,  importantly,  the greater value it offers. I also wanted to strongly urge consulting a PRA as I felt the question indicated a strong need for that.
