Applying for Ieng or EngTech with HND, and from abroad!

Former Community Member

Afternoon all,


I appreciate this will contain more than one question, so i appreciate if any of them can be adressed.


I am unsure if i should apply for either Ieng or EngTech - i've looked up the achademic requirements for Ieng and the Engineering Council's websites states they only accept HNC/HND's that were completed before September 1999 - i graduated in 2008. However, if my understanding is correct, Ieng is still obtainable even without necessarily meeting the achademic requirements alone, depending upon work experience.


With my HND, ive worked for about 5 years in electrical design, and before that as a manager of a calibration lab - would anyone whos got similar experience or been in a similar position be able to adivse which of the two is most applicable to me?


And if Ieng is the correct option - has anyone done the interview process over Skype as i live abroad (Gibraltar), i can see how an interview is done over a webcam, but not sure how you'd do a power point presentation via Skype.


I greatly appreciate any infomation or advice anyone can give!


Thanks,


Lee.

    Thanks very much for your help Moshe,


    I've spoken to an adviser this morning who've clarified things. I've got to go through the UK SPEC to see if my experience meets all the points. Once ive gone through the entire SPEC, i'll have to decide if i have a realistic chance of Ieng, or go for EngTech.


    If i may ask, if during your Ieng/Ceng interviews, you were not required to do a presentation (which the Engineering Council states is a mandatory part of the interview), did you have to do something else in place of it? Or do international applicants simply skip this part of the interview?


    Again, thank you very much for your insight, its greatly appreciated.
