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?

  • Thank you all for your input and feedback. Some of it is painful for me to read but I appreciate your comments despite the pain.

    Could you please keep it coming. I would be keen to hear what benefits the IET could offer to you to consider joining?

    Thanks

    If this is about generating revenue for the IET, then you need to get marketing your products, which are basically standards and guidance on the standards, you also offer webinars, ELEX chats, and open forums (that need sorting!). The wiring matters magazine (I wish you still did that in paper form) is excellent. All this is free to registered persons, which I've enjoyed for many years without paying a penny. All good things, but what exactly are you after? Having a larger membership means more sales (and better educated sparks/engineers), The advantage you have is being top of the tree, then we've got NIC, Napit etc who then go on to interpret your publications for their own membership.

    I think if you want more members you need to shout louder and longer.. And keep the cost of membership low (£40 quid a year). Plus offer good discounts, we all love a bargain..

    Every contractor needs a regs book so put an application form in there and some info of what you do and can expect from the IET. (offer a free screwdriver to the first 1000 applicants;-)
