Professional Registration Interview Delay

Eddy

I have diligently completed my Chartered Engineer (CEng) application and promptly paid the required fee. After my application was processed, I reached the critical interview stage. However, I have now been waiting for over 15 weeks for my Professional Registration Interview, and I find this prolonged delay concerning.

Is it typical for the scheduling process to take this long? I value the communication I received from the Professional Registration Assessment Executive in December, but I have yet to receive any updates on the interview date.

Timely progress on this process is essential to my professional development, and I kindly request your assistance in clarifying the reasons for the extended timeline. Your support in expediting this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Eddy,

    Please don't expect a reply from the Registration and Standards Unit (who manage professional registration) on this forum, this forum is for engineer to engineer discussions, it's rare for there to be answers here from IET staff (other than forum admins). if you want to contact RSSU for an answer it's best to do so by email at  profreg@theiet.org

    Hopefully you've seen the discussion at  Query on Current Lead Time for CEng Application Assessments  The lead time for interviews is currently several months.

    You're not alone...

    Thanks,

    Andy

    Thank you, Andy. I didn't know it takes that long to schedule the interview.

    Hi Eddy,

    I made my application on 10th March 2025, progressed thru the appropriate diligence and been waiting on my PRI since 8th August when I received an email to say everything progressed to PRI. Only this week did I receive an offer of an interview on the 20th March next month. So that's over a year. I know been changes/updates at the IET and a backlog, and for myself didn't chase them too much as I know depends on volunteers with the correct training and alignment.

    Hopefully your PRI will happen sooner than my timescale,

    Cheers GTB
