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 don't think that the old degrees should have their accreditation changed as the documentation regarding the accreditation will be from the IEE, not the IET. It is of course possible to state it was accredited by the IEE and add IET in brackets or similar to clarify.


    However to go back to the original post, this is something I brought up with the IET a couple of years ago and the answer is much as stated above. The degrees in specialised areas such as aeronautics are left to be accredited by the appropriate PEI, but if the individual applies for registration through the IET the accreditation will be accepted in full by the IET - as long as the degree is directly relevant to the work being undertaken by the applicant (e.g. someone with an accredited degree in Aeronautics will have that accreditation accepted if they are working in the aeronautics field, but if they are now doing computer programming it will not be seen as a full exemplifying qualification).
