IET MEMBERSHIP

John Peckham

As some of you know I have an involvement with the IET and have been a member for many years.

There is a low visibility in the electrical installation industry of who the IET is and what the IET does. The usual response I get is "you are the people who publish the Wiring Regs" and nothing more.

I am involved with some work in understanding what people would want or know about the IET that would make them want to become a member, and also consider professional registration?

So I need your help please.

What would you like to know about the IET, and what you would want from the IET to make you consider joining? Have you thought about professional registration?

Honest views please and I promise to listen. If you do not want to say on a public forum then email me on info( the symbol for at) astutetechnicalservices.co.uk.

Thanks for your anticipated help.

if you are already a member I would also appreciate your views?

    o for a humble electrician and Electrical Practitioner what is the added value in Associate Membership or Technician Membership? 

    I don't know about you but I still have a sense of pride to be a member of the IET even though there was a change in name after I was accepted into the 'International Marxist devision of the Bullington club'. That was a joke for those who have a poor reception

    I joined when It was the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE), and then after a few years it amalgamated with the Institute of Information Technology (IIT). As my qualifications and experience settle in both camps it seemed appropriate.

    As I see it, this organization is more to do with design and inspiration rather than a prescriptive electrical installation club.
