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

Chris Kessell
As the title - I'm sure the answer is written down somewhere but I can't find it. 


I've been both CEng and MIET/MIEE for 20+ years, but I'm tempted not to renew my IET membership any longer.  Does anyone know if it's possible to pay the CEng annual fee direct to the Engineering Council?


Thanks.

    I’m not speaking on behalf of the IET here, but I have no problem with someone styling themselves “Retired Chartered Engineer”. This doesn’t have the potential to mislead anyone and surely doesn’t reduce the respect that any sensible person holds you in.  




    100% agree. I'm not a lawyer but I can't see how that would breach the legal status since the person would clearly not be claiming to be a Chartered Engineer at the present time. How about another addition to the forum badges for "most sensible suggestion of the day"? smiley


    There are many other points in your post that struck a chord (because of various incidents that I have been involved in recently, including specifically while volunteering at a schools event today) but I will take a deep breath, relax, and get a good night's sleep first!

    P.S. I notice, Roy, that you and I both have a level 4 badge. Which intrigues me as to what you have to do to get to level 7 if we're only half way! But again, that will give the (much) younger members something to aim at laugh
