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

    Well that's been (relatively) interesting - I've just been trying to find out whether it makes any difference at all which EC institute accredited the degree, and as far as I can see in all the IET guidance I can find it doesn't make any difference at all. I can't find anything that says "an IET accredited degree is an exemplifying qualification".


    So this discussion all seems to be a moot point. Unless anyone can point me to anything different it appears that as long as it's on the EC list it's accredited for IET registration purposes. Even if it was accredited by, for example, the Institute of Fuel *.


    Cheers,

    * I don't suppose the IoF ever did accredit degrees, I just chose that as a) an extreme example of a long gone institute name and b) the one my dad was registered through so I thought it deserved a mention!
