ARE CENG AND IENG EQUAL IN STATUS

Nouman Abid Chuhan
Can we say that the CEng and IEng be considered equal titles in professional status or IEng is inferior than CEng.

As the Application Form for both CEng and IEng is same.

    If I compare to Germany, the tchniciansthere are called State-certified technicians and it takes 3.5 years of apprenticeship, 2 years of technical school and taking 

    the State certified examinations.

    In Germany technicians are on level 6 of the GQF.  They are compared to Technologist or even I.Eng at times.

    In many other countries Technicians are more of on the level 3 or 4 in their qualifications frameworks.


    In UK in my opinion there is great system of NQF the Award, Certificate and Diploma level vocation education and training.

    I seen programs of NQF level 2 or 3 they are impressive and really prepare a person for Technician role. 

    If you look at Airman in Royal AF their initial aprentiantship and training leads to NQF2 and Advanced training to NQF 3.
     specialist standards, allowing to undertake Further Training on a 14 month long technician training course. One will also be enrolled on an Advanced Apprenticeship in Aeronautical Engineering. On successful completion of this part of their specialist training one will be qualified as an Aircraft Technicians (Mechanical). One will be enrolled on an NVQ Level 3 in Aeronautical Engineering where on successful completion of the NVQ portfolio, one will have completed all elements of the Advanced Apprenticeship in Aeronautical Engineering. 

    That is very comprehensive program.
    The NVQs and Apprenticeships that one can earn are as valuable in the civilian world as they are in the RAF. Furthermore, as an aircraft engineer in the RAF, the skills and qualifications one will have gained will place them in good stead for a wide range of employment fields when they leave the RAF.

    What I like in education providers such as universities or institutes etc, is the ability to have entry point and exit point.

    So if an EngTech completed qualification of NQF level 4 or one year university, institute or City and Guilds, or HNC etc in technical studies they can enter in to 2nd year of degree program, and HND usually can enter in to final year of BEng program or do additional year if the BScEE program is a 4 year in duration.
