How did you achieve professional registration?

Kathryn Bain
Have you achieved professional registration even though you didn’t hold an accredited academic qualification? Did you follow a non-standard route to professional registration.



In our recent blog post "Professional Registration: What you need to know" we asked for your personal experiences of achieving professional registration and meeting the competences, what are your experiences?

    I have just gained my CEng, through the non-academic route.



    I started with EngTech, when I passed by ONC/HNC back in 1992. I gained LCGI with City and Guilds, then IEng with the IIE. Following this I did a level 3 management qualification, lots of professional development type courses, until, I finally applied for CEng in May 2013.



    My employment history does cover a lot of senior and management roles, and I do have a patent application too.



    To be honest, using Career Manager V2, did make some aspects a little more difficult, but I found the whole process from applying, presentation and interview to final decision quite easy. All I did was follow the IET guidance.



    Now I have to wait for the Engineering Council to send me my registration number before I can use CEng.

    Congratulations and well done. You did it the hard way, so you are a very real Engineer as opposed to Enjuneer. It's good to see that the IET and EngC are awarding CEng where it's deserved. I also took the protracted route and it isn't easy...........which makes it all the better when you achieve it.
