ARE CENG AND IENG EQUAL IN STATUS

Mr Gowman,


PEI's provide multiple routs to registration.

I don't think the comments like exclusive club are accurate because many PEI's have individual, experienced or adult rout to registration for Engineers who don't have an accredited degree or the level of degree that would allow academic rout, Engineers can demonstrate their experience, training and education matching the UK SPEC for the level they are registering.

So there are CEng's or IEng's who are registered via mature adult rout. This includes non UK nationals persons from USA, Asia etc, etc.

The problem they experiencing is that according to the international agreements such as Washington accord or Sidney Accord that are focused on the properly accredited degree for the recognition. I had and also know others who had their registration refused, continued to work with the PEI designated advisers provided additional documents, or courses etc until they passed to the next stage to the PRI. Not everyone made it. The overall experience that PEI's representatives wanted to help the applicant and not to fail the applicant.

Now the degree once its recognized then the rest of the process needs to be completed.

IET has agreements with Engineers Australia and other countries.

• Engineers Australia.

• The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers.

• The Institution of Engineers New Zealand.

• hold either a Washington Accord (CEng registration), Sydney Accord (IEng registration) or Dublin Accord* (EngTech registration) qualification or substantially equivalent academic qualification.
