FIET applications for CSCS cards….

Anthony Blyth

Have any fellows applied for CSCS cards recently? A point of caution is that CSCS will NOT accept FIET for professionally qualified applications despite accepting TMIET and MIET colleagues. 

Despite the membership team writing me a lovely email explaining FIET, CSCS will not budge and declining applications.

I suspect it’s something the IET will have to work with them to fix but frustrating to say the least!

    Hi Anthony,

    Thank you for making us aware of this.  The criteria for CSCS cards is set by CSCS and The IET do not have any influence on this, it is not something that was negotiated between the two organisations.  I appreciate the confusion and frustration though about FIET not being accepted.  We could provide members with details about the specific assessment criteria we use so that the CSCS can see the difference between the different IET membership categories of but ultimately it is their decision what they do or do not accept as meeting their own eligibility criteria.

    Perhaps I should not rush to complete an FIET application form if it's going to make me seem less "competent" in the eyes of the construction industry?

    Hi Graham,

    I highlighted this issue to our Head of Registration and Standards and they have reached out to the CSCS to advise that FIET is our highest grade of membership.  They have also asked if there is a process by which we can agree with them for the inclusion of Fellows in their assessment criteria.

    Thank you once again to you all for bringing this to our attention.

    Good Afternoon!

    I am delighted to confirm that having spoken to the CSCS that FIET is now included in the list of membership types accepted for CSCS card applications.

    They encourage anyone who has previously been declined on this basis to re-apply  and if there are any issues, please email customerservice@cscs.co.uk and mark in subject line for the attention of CSCS Scheme Manager.

    You should be able to see this change in the eligibility criteria update on their website and within the application system from next week.
