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.

    Moshe and I had a discussion about this a few years ago. I am an IEng with a City and Guilds. Communicating with CGLI is almost impossible. When an LCGI was available with an IEng I was not aware of it. The IIE/IET did not advertise it very well. As I said in the past, the IET should arrange with CGLI to award the LCGI to registered IEng's and then advertise the offer very well.
