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

If one feel that my question is a bit sarcastic I would like to apologize and I don’t have any ill feeling toward anyone.


Again, I agreed on what Andy said “wider value that the IET offers to the engineering community”.


I think residence in UK is very lucky because there is no conversion like we do outside UK. In Malaysia I have to multiply 5 to 6 time my country currency to pay my membership as well as the professional fee to IET. Why I pay? Because of the value that IET deliver to the engineering community no just in UK but outside UK.


Another point I would like to make is management and planning both budget and development. The moment when you want to apply for any membership and professional registration, you already plan for the budget for years to come and sustaining it whether you pay it or company pay it and how to fully utilise the professional registration both in and outside (Mentoring, Volunteering and etc) your career. If not why go through so much effort to get the professional registration and at the end just let go like that and feel the registration bring no value. I don’t intend to insult anyone here with this statement but to refresh the commitment to support the work and value that IET bring to the engineering community as a whole and look at the bigger picture by paying the fee at least.
