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).

    Thanks for that information Yung,


    I guess I'll have to look into the GCGI for Engineering or Engineering management I suppose. I'll to find out which is most applicable for my job (electrical design).


    Long distance BEng in anything is just a no-go for me for a good couple of years at least, with work and kids I simply do not have the time.


    Thanks for your info Yung, greatly appreciated.
