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.

  • Kitson,

    As Gerard has indicated absolutely nothing wrong with making an application for EngTech then as you progress through your career and gain further competencies then apply for IEng or CEng depending on where you believe you are working at.

    I'm an assessor for EngTech applications and have see many applicants apply for EngTech at end of their industrial placement year from the academic studies or on graduating but well before they have had a long duration working for an employer.

    If you obtain and read UK-SPEC for the competency details for EngTech, believe you have sufficient evidence of being able to demonstrate examples then nothing stopping you making that EngTech application. I would also suggest unless you have a colleague or mentor that's professionally registered to give advice to you, then seek out an IET registered PRA who will give words of advice on your application.
