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

    As for whether the Job role has to match the degree subject to qualify for CEng registration; ........ Unless of course, this is not the same thing as having an exemplifying qualification?


    Your final thought is right. To be an exemplifying qualification the degree has to be relevant to the work you are doing, but this does not stop anyone achieving Chartered status as can be seen by the many engineers gaining registration with a non-accredited degree, or even with no degree at all. I think that Roy's post sums it up quite neatly.
