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

    I'd assume you're right, but as the EC website doesn't say that on their degree search page I can see that potential applicants could be concerned (as this one was).

     




    Well let's hope someone in the IET responsible for registration can raise the matter higher up the ladder so that the IET can start work with the EC to amend the database to reflect that former IEE accredited degrees are under the responsibility of the IET. The database should replace IEE with:


    IET (formerly IEE)


    That way the IET are accepting responsibility for maintaining the historical accreditation of degrees when the IET was operating as the IEE.
