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.

    Lee,

     

    A Professional Review Interview is mandatory for IEng, but not for Eng Tech. Although the IET might occasionally need to investigate and verify some aspect of a Technician registration application, including perhaps via a discussion of some kind.

     

    If you look at UK-SPEC, ask yourself the question; do the examples (second column) look like any of the things that I do? Also how for IEng has my learning developed through my work-based and/or other learning? The advisor that you have made contact with should be able to help you calibrate yourself and make the best choice of category to apply for.
