C&G Professional Recognition Awards

Afternoon all,

I've come across, and not found much infomation on the net regarding C&Gs PRAs like LCGI, AfCGI, GCGI and MCGI.


Maybe someone could clear this up for me, but my interpritation of what these are or are supposed to be, is something for people with experience in engineering but without the formal achademic qualifications - awarding a particular award based upon experience which some how corresponds to the type of qualification someone in their job would typically have? So for example, having a GCGI is like having a bachelors degree?


Are such qualifications actually worth having? Are they recognised by industry, or is it more a "buy a title" type situation?


If someone could explain what exactly these really are (and not just marketed as), and what their really worth etc. Sadly C&Gs give very limited info on their site (as per usual).

    Lee,  I think with HND you can enroll ina final year of BEng degree programme. Posibly by DL if you cant attend a B&M campus.

    In the past the oportunities to earn a  degree were harder than now. This when C&G provided direct application to the awards.  That rout was discontinued some 5 + years ego.

    Today you will need to contact C&G in order to locate a provider that will do the GCGI assessment. The provider will guide you and provide the required procedures, forms and cost.

    I don't know anyone who earned the PRA's

    Persons I know earned the earlier version when they were called  Senior Awards.

    Try the C&G web site portal to locate a provider.

    Make some calls to C&G, In the paat I red in blogs that its hard to get a  meaningful reply. Maybe our days its better. Good luck.
