Is it possible to remain a CEng if IET membership is ended?

Referring to the post title, I don’t quite understand why one don’t want to pay or renew the membership fee to an engineering institute. It is no a norm to pay membership fee to a society in UK where you are registered with?


And looking at IET membership fee at the moment, I don’t think that is excessive. IET have this reduced fee and it reduce almost to 50% for retired member.

If one says the fee is expensive then at what kind of level the fee is seen to be reasonable? Maybe whoever feel that way can suggest the reasonable amount to be proposed to IET. Of course, if one suggests FOC then that is ridiculous.


We must remember any institution or society cannot be self-sustain without any member funding. IET need fund to operate, and one of the source of funding is from membership fee.

Whether the talent is feel wasted, don’t be appreciated, felt unwanted, to me this is just a personal issue.
