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

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

    Yes,  if you look at the detail contained in competencies A to E, even A1, you'll see most of it would not be demonstrated by a degree.  Taking A1 as the area closest to matching what a degree would demonstrate,  even there it includes the requirement to maintain and extend your knowledge, and that includes using your understanding to introduce and exploit new technologies in your field. 


    But it's good to see that you now intendto consult a PRA. I know that your PRA will make things much clearer. 

    Best of luck with it.
