How did you achieve professional registration?

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 became an IEng many years ago and more recently moved to CEng. I followed academic - Underpinning knowledge and understanding (UK&U) and experiential learning routes combined for both levels of registration and I have also been a volunteer in numerous roles for many years of the IIE, IEE and the IET.



    I have found volunteering very rewarding and am presently involved as a PRA, Manufacturing TPN chair and Manufacturing Policy Panel member. I believe this (volunteering) can add to your IET experience and supports certain aspects of the registration process for the development of the (our) engineering professions.



    I also found the process challenging and at times the waiting for an answer can be frustrating, however as noted by other contributors to this discussion, it is all about the result.
