Is it common for candidates with a Level 7 qualification to apply for EngTech registration?

Kitson

Hi everyone, I’m currently on a graduate scheme at a UK organisation and have around 1.7 years of experience in the railway sector.

My long-term goal is to achieve CEng registration. In the meantime, I’m wondering whether it would be beneficial to register as EngTech first as an early-career credential and as a way of demonstrating progress towards CEng.

I understand that gaining CEng will take several more years of experience, along with building up the UK-SPEC competencies, so I’m considering whether EngTech would be worthwhile during that period.

I’d really appreciate any advice or perspectives on this, as I’m keen to understand professional registration from different angles.

Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Do keep in mind that the different levels of registration are progressive and absolutely nothing wrong applying for different levels as a career progresses.  Off course lots of people wait until they believe they can demonstrate the required CEng competencies, commitment and UK&u but as a registration advisor, I see quite a few applicants moving through the levels. Its not unusual for me to support someone with an EngTech application and then they come back asking for support with an IEng application or even a CEng application. YOu don't have to do EngTech to IEng to CEng and can go from EngTech to CEng as your competencies and commitment develop. The other big benefit of progression through the registration levels is you gain experience writing applications, how to tell your career story etc. There is also the experience of the interviews too.  Lastly, we do see level 7 qualifications that have not quite developed the required competencies and commitments apply for EngTech or even IEng.

    Hope this helps.
