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.

  • My personal view is that Engtech should be reserved as a qualification for higher grade technicians. Typically they will have skills and knowledge that graduate engineers have not had time to develop. The is some talk of a new registration category of 'Registered Engineer' is being considered by the Engineering Council for graduate engineers which would be ideal for your situation. Quite where that would position IEng in a progressive registration path, I'm not sure.

    I wonder what difference "Registered Engineer" will be compared with the old being registered at Stage 1 (which I still have the certificate for).
