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

    MBirdi, 

    That doesn't follow.  When registration requirements are changed,  you can't say that all previous requirements should continue to be met.  Like many of us older members, the institution was still the IEE when I joined and became C.Eng. At that time, membership and registration were inextricably linked,  you couldn't be a member without also becoming C.Eng. Furthermore,  I.Eng was not an option,  that was only available via the IIE. The whole scenario has completely changed since then and what may have constituted an exemplifying qualification then may might do so now. 


    Although this could be looked at closely to examine whether this particular degree could be accepted as an exemplifying qualification,  I'm really not convinced that it's a worthwhile exercise from either the IET's perspective or that of the OP. I strongly doubt that it will be difficult for the OP to demonstrate k&u by other means.  I feel certain that the pre interview assessor would happily accept the degree as s starting point and seek some supporting detail to confirm k&u has been confirmed.
