Individual Route
Many potential professional Engineering
Technicians have not had the advantage of
formal training, but are able to demonstrate
they have acquired the necessary
competence through substantial working
experience. Thus individuals without the
types of qualifications described above may
apply for an Individual Route assessment.
This process, administered by the
applicants institution, includes assessment
of prior learning and of current
performance. Evidence of employer
recognition of competences and relevant
skills may be helpful
Maintaining Competence
Candidates applying for registration as
professional Engineering Technicians will be
required to show evidence that they have
taken steps to ensure that their
competence is maintained, and that they
intend to continue to do this. This is an
important part of recognition as a
professional Engineering Technician. It is for
this reason that professional Engineering
Technicians may only obtain and retain
registration if they are members of one of
the Engineering Council licensed
professional engineering institutions. It is
important that anyone seeking registration
recognises that this will entail obligations
and an ongoing commitment.

Standard. Council recognized a person as a registered member if he or she is a kind of member of
IESL or IIESL or complete other educational qualifications recognized by IESL or IIESL. , council have

other evaluation process. Only one eligibility requirement considering in council candidates haven

institutions accepted by the government.
In UK situation
According to the UK Pocket guide to professional registration for engineers and technicians 2016
(Page.12, 13, 14.)
How to become professionally registered
The first step to registration is membership of one of the professional engineering
institutions licensed to assess candidates, or a Professional Affiliate with the relevant
registration agreement. These are listed in this guide and on the Engineering Councils
website.
The institution will assess the individuals qualifications, training and experience against UK-
SPEC or ICTTech requirements and advice if anything further is required. Many institutions
can also help with finding a suitable mentor. The assessment process known as a
professional review starts with a written application based on the requirements of the
institution. A detailed description of the format for this will be provided by the institution.
For IEng and CEng, a professional review interview is mandatory. Once the registration
criteria have been met, the institution will submit a registration form to the Engineering
Council on behalf of the candidate.
1. Individual assessment
Individually assessed applicants have a number of ways of demonstrating the required level
of knowledge and understanding, including completing appropriate work-based or
experiential learning, writing a technical report or taking appropriate further qualifications.
Individuals holding an accredited degree may apply for registration via the
exemplifying qualifications route. Applicants can check whether their course is
accredited and learn more here. If a degree is not accredited, the engineering
institution can carry out an individual assessment of the applicants knowledge and
understanding and advise whether further learning is required. Individuals holding an

Eligibility
Professional registration is open to everyone who can:
Demonstrate both competence to perform professional work to the necessary standards,
and commitment to maintain their competence
Work within professional codes
Participate actively within the profession.
Academic and vocational qualifications can provide an indication of eligibility for the
different categories of registration, because they demonstrate a candidates level of
knowledge and understanding. However, all round professional competence will be the
deciding factor, and there are several other ways in which the required knowledge,
understanding and skills can be demonstrated for applicants without the relevant
qualifications. These can be found in UK-SPEC for EngTech, IEng or CEng and in the ICTTech
Standard for ICTTech. Licensed professional engineering institutions can also advise
candidates once they have assessed their qualifications, training and experience.
