Humble request to expedite my PRI for CEng; - i am at 35th week now.

Hi Team IET,

Firstly,  i appreciate all the efforts you are doing as a reputed Organization serving Engineering and Technology sector across the globe. 

I am here to share a major concern which i am facing related to my CEng journey with IET. Here i go:

I submitted my CEng application at Week-1 of year 2024.

At Week-23 2024, i received confirmation that my application has been approved from PRI. 

After sending couple of followup emails  to Professional Registration Team, today (at Week-35)  i have received  an reply email  with out any firm schedule of my PRI. 

I am extremely concerned now that IET is not able to provide a firm schedule of my PRI even at Week-35 despite mentioning 22 weeks time as an average time for CEng Application. 

At the end, My humble request to IET team is to please respond to my request of PRI with a firm schedule.

Thanks and Best Regards

  • Hi Waqqar, I know the Professional Registration team are really busy at the moment but generally an email to profreg@theiet.org should get you some answers. 

  • I have a similar situation. I did email to profreg@theiet.org, and profreginterview@theiet.org a few times, but I am still looking forward to a reply.

  • Hi williamli, it's the Christmas holidays in the UK at the moment so there's a reduced service running, but I'm sure  will be able to help once she's back in the office.

  • I am currently waiting for my application for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status to be confirmed. I have reached week 20 and have been emailing the team every two weeks to understand the hold-up. I am concerned about the prolonged time it has taken just to get my application approved or not. If it's taking this long now, how much longer will it take for me to update and resubmit my application if required? Another 20 weeks? As someone who is chartered with other professional bodies, I have never experienced such a lengthy process. 

    Are interviews a requirement for this application? I believe there is room for improvement in this process, similar to the innovation we are encouraged to implement in our jobs.  please help all of us who have made such comments. I have emailed the profreg with suggestions. However, no one wants to listen, just a standard response. I would really like the Org to fix this as you are great at all other things, but this process is not fit for purpose in all respects. 

  • Update- so a lovely lady contacted me regarding the above and suggestions have been pushed up the senior members, hopefully a review will improve some timelines.  
    my application hit the assessment  panel and more evidence required.  I’ll update you on the journey! Thumbsup

  • A reply to my situation will be lovely. Thanks a lot!

  • Hi Williamli 

    Elizabeth Morgan and myself aren't part of the Professional Registration team so we're not able to answer your query ourselves. Please speak directly to a member of the Professional Registration team either via email to profreg@theiet.org or call on +44 (0) 1438 767333. However I can see from your profile that you're based in Hong Kong so you can also contact the team in the Hong Kong office for advice and assistance too. Their contact details can be found on our website here: https://www.theiet.org/about/our-offices/the-iet-in-hong-kong 

    Hope that helps!
