Hi Peter, I can't argue with any of what you say. However, I still feel strongly, as Michael has also summarised neatly, we really do need all three levels, and not only as entry path to C.Eng, teamwork, as he rightly says. It's a sad position you describe, and I know the battle is highly daunting, but I really don't believe we should give up on it. As I've said before, those fighting for women's rights must have felt even more daunted at the uphill struggle they had to fight, yet they persisted and got there in the end. I think we have to fight the fight to turn that position round, to convince organisations and governments of the value of the tiered model, the improved engineering outcomes from having the confidence registration provides at all three levels, but just sign-off. It may not succeed in my lifetime even, but I really feel we have to try, if only for the benefit of future generations.
