BEng to CEng registraiton

Hello,

I recently graduated from Lancaster University with a BEng honours degree while working full time as an electrical technician in 2016.

My experience from high school includes working as an electrician from 2007 to 2014 and an electrical technician from 2014 to 2016. I also worked as an electrician in Australia in 2017.

I recently joined a engineering consultancy in February 2018 and they are keen for their graduates to go for chartership after 4 years, however im worried i will not be able to achieve this goal as i am not educated up to MEng level. Would the next steps for me be applying for Engtech then IEng and finally CEng registration? It is really confusing as people are telling me i need to go back to University, but i cannot really afford this option while working full time also.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated with what steps to do next for me to achieve CEng status.

Thanks

Ben

Thanks for all of your inputs to this discussion, I have read all the replies and given them a lot of thought. Roy, the degree I got from Lancaster University was regarded as partial CEng and it was a 4 year part time degree I don’t know if this helps you? With the financial restraints and having done full time jobs while completing part time studies for 8 years I am very hesistant at doing more studies at masters level, as I would rather progress my electrical design knowledge and become competent member of the team. However I have been told by some seniors without masters I stand no chance at gaining CEng status which is what I am striving to achieve. From the replies I will probably go for IEng status and then try and progress to CEng status afterwards if possible as it seems the sensible decision at this point in my career.
