As the workforce trends shift, there comes a pressure in staying relevant in the skills and
knowledge was taught earlier. The chance to move up the ranks is yours to take - but you must
set the goals for your career development plan and hold yourself accountable to it. Despite the
current economic situation creating multiple challenges, always dream and shoot higher than
you know you can do. Do not bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors.
Try to be better than yourself. Success comes from the inside out. In order to change what is
on the outside, you must first change what is in the inside, i.e. change and improve yourself.
By being a professional engineer, you will have the access to the latest trends and technologies
that will be relevant in your career. The key of global knowledge is made easily available to
internationally certified professional engineers keeping them abreast to changes in the
profession.
“An investment in self-development pays the highest dividends. There is no more profitable
investment than investing in yourself. It is the best investment you can make; you can never
go wrong with it. Successful people do not earn more, then invest. They invest so they can
earn more.”

The program is aimed for engineers, managers, either in civilian or military service,
academician and researchers in technical or engineering field, with basic engineering or
technical degree, with at least five years of working experience, wishing to excel in their career.
The award will be the recognised professional engineer status of Chartered Engineer (CEng),
from the internationally acclaimed, Engineering Council (EC) of UK, with a history of over
200 years. By having the post-nominals, CEng, the participants will then be able to register
with through Route B, of the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), for the PEng (Ir.), by just
sitting for the “open-book” test for ethics, without even needing a technical report writeup, or
interviews.
With the CEng, the participants can also register as Eur Ing from European Federation of
National Engineering Associations (FEANI), or any other local professional engineer status
from other approved bodies, without even attending an interview. The participants will then
also be able to go through another fast track program to even expand beyond the engineering
field, by getting the acclaimed Chartered Manager (CMgr) status from the Chartered
Management Institute (CMI) UK.
The session will be in a relaxed manner and all the notes and tools, will only be in soft copy
format. Participants will continuously be guided to perform well, in the submission and the
interview for a successful outcome. The tools that we are using will be based on the template
for the professional report, which will be given to participants to fill up and developed. From
there, participants will be able to complete their submission or use it to register to any other
engineering bodies in the world. They will also be provided with samples from successful
participants. The same tool is used, for the Professional Review Interview. The program is to
satisfy the UK Specifications for Professional Engineer (UK-SPEC) Edition 4.0. It focuses on
delivering all the techniques for participants to be able to complete
their registration submission and also passed the interview process.
If by any reason they are unable to do well in the process, they can
either opt to be initially registered as an Incorporated Engineer
(IEng), and later, when they satisfies the required competencies,
upgrade to the CEng status, or they can re-submit, or even change
to another institution to get the CEng status. We will still guide the

participant, until they are successful. It is a journey, and the journey will be different for
different individuals, but rest assured that we will be with the participants, every step of the
way, until they get the professional status.
With the correct, structured and proven method of guidance, the candidate can achieve the
CEng status faster and easier. Our one-to-one personalised approach, has been very successful
in assisting a lot of academicians, managers and engineers to gain their professional engineer
status. By being on this journey of excellence, is already a reward for the participants, as they
will be exposed to the holistic characteristics of a professional. The road to success comes
through determination and sacrifices. Invest in yourself as no one else will !

better and stronger, the opportunity is there for us to grab. Professional Engineers are
needed to improve our country. International companies and local companies will select
and search for a competent person as their engineer, and that is why we need to be well
prepared. Not only that, CEng is well recognised all around the globe, we can expand our
career internationally and learn other countries' technology. There is nothing easy. But I
am lucky because I have a person, that guides me to register as a professional. The
platform is there. It was well structured and easy to understand. But like I always said,
you will miss every shot that you never take. Do not be afraid to fail, it makes you
stronger.”
Ts. Rollando Chong CEng MIET MBoT
“I would say that becoming a CEng will give me a broad and lots of opportunities, to spread
out my knowledge and engineering activities, to the community and society. This is the right
platform for me to share with the world the experiences, in engaging with engineering
projects, that bring me up to the international standard of practice. With that, I would like to
encourage all engineers, particularly in Malaysia to register as CEng, so that what we can do
is, “to speak at the same voice, to walk on the same path.”
Saifulza Bin Alwi @ Suhaimi CEng MIET
“Getting CEng means we are recognised internationally with regards to our engineering

“As for myself, throughout this process, I've been able to look back into all the works that I
have done, re-evaluate them with fresh perspectives, and reframe my contributions to the
engineering profession and to the society. Along the way, it has helped me gain greater
appreciation towards my own works and allowed me to identify my professional qualities,
some of which weren't so crystal clear before my eyes. Having real and honest appreciation
towards your own selves and works is important as a strong support for you to continuously
be motivated to serve the community of which you are in. All in all, I see that the title is just
something that comes along with the recognition, but the real values are in the confidence
that your peers have upon your capabilities and potential to contribute professionally, the
global network of engineering communities that you are a part of to support your growth, and
the responsibilities that have been entrusted upon you to serve the society in the best way
possible.”
Ahmad Zulfaa Mohamed Kassim CEng MIET
“I want to express how much of an impact becoming a Chartered Engineer (C.Eng) has
had on my professional life. It symbolises my dedication to excellence, integrity, and
lifelong learning for 18 years. By attaining this prestigious title, we become part of a
community of experts, competence leaders, and problem solvers; and by striving for
Chartered Engineer status, we elevate the recognition of local engineers internationally. I
believe, we can make a real difference, shape the future, and inspire the next generation.
My heartfelt gratitude goes to the guidance and mentoring by A1. Remember, that self-
transformation is the first step towards becoming an internationally recognised
professional engineer and shaping the future.”

Effective interpersonal skills; and Commitment to personal standards. With it, I have to hold
professionalism in order to keep public respect to the career of Engineer. To me,
Professionalism carries the five criteria with obligation to Engineering Ethics in whatever
situations. Thus, I really encourage young engineers and my colleagues to start applying for
Professional Engineer/Chartered Engineer so that they will understand what the meaning of
professionalism in their career. The most important thing is as Engineer, we must hold public
respect to the career of Engineer.”

Being a “Charted Engineer” is always a dream for any engineers around the world disregards
to their engineering field or nature of work. The status of “Charted Engineer” empowers me
as a Professional Engineer with the capacity to apply, deliver or expand the knowledge of
science and technology by optimising natural resources to the benefit of humankind and
environment as a whole. I’m very grateful to my mentor, who guided and supported me
throughout the entire process from submission until the interview. Now as a “Charted
Engineer” from The Institution of Engineering and Technology will help to elevate my career
to the next level.
Eur Ing Siva Kumar CEng MIET FEANI
“For me as lecturer in one of the technical universities, CEng that I have earned can help the
university to achieve its mission and vision as well as assist in the process of accreditation for
the program that we offered. At the same time, encouraging other staff to work together to get
Chartered Engineer because it is one of the requirements to be fulfilled to ensure that the
program offered is recognized by a professional body.”

“When I started my first job as a Graduate Engineer, which involved rotations to three
different business units, I lamented my "bad luck" as some of the work that I had to do, was
not related at all to what I studied during my degree. Why on earth did I have to review civil
drawings when I studied Electrical and Electronics for four years? Later as I move along in
my career, I realised that, it is what being an engineer is all about. There are always new
problems that need to be solved, and how a problem is being solved tomorrow, may not be
the same as how it is solved yesterday. I consider myself as although I have now ventured
into procurement and supply chain, I am always connected to engineering as my day-to-day
tasks and that motivated me to etch my status, as a professional engineer by becoming a
Chartered Engineer. Having been a student member of the IET, and eventually a Member of
the IET (MIET), I decided to apply for CEng through IET. I always thought the CEng
application requirement to be very daunting, but thankfully the guidelines from A1, has been
very easy to follow and made the whole process to become very structured. Alhamdulillah,
after one year (I procrastinated a lot!), I managed to submit my application, and was invited
for Professional Review Interview a few months after that. Again, completing a mock PRI
withA1, really put me at ease for the real PRI, and all in all, it turned out to be a very
enjoyable experience. My main interviewer was an ex-British Royal Air Force General who
served in World War 2, so you can just imagine all the fascinating stories that he shared
during the interview . For all engineers aspiring to become a Chartered Engineer, I whole-
heartedly encourage you to do it now as there are so many things that you can learn about
yourself as you go through the process."
Haneef Nasir CEng MIET MCIPS
“I am truly happy and proud of myself for being awarded the status CEng from Engineering
Council UK. It means the world to me. IET and Engineering Council are recognised
worldwide and it also means that your qualification and experience being acknowledge by an
international independent body. I encourage engineers from Malaysia to registered with IET
and Engineering Council because it would raise the bench mark and profession as a respected
profession in Malaysia.”

"It is every engineer goal to be recognised professionally. By having this CEng recognition, it
is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.”
Mohd Faruq Abdul Latif CEng MIMechE
"It has been a long and meaningful journey to me. In the beginning of my journey, I have no
idea how to start and how to apply as a chartered engineer. With fast track to chartered
engineer programme, it was really helpful and am grateful to the training, experience sharing,
and full guidance throughout this programme. During the process, I not only received new
knowledge but also helped me to be aware of the significance of my works as a academician
and engineer to the society."
Ir. Ts. Mohamad Shakri Mohmad Shariff CEng MIET MBoT
“Thanks for your assistance and pushing me to the limit. For those out there and for those
young engineers, being a Chartered Engineer will lift up the life as engineer and always
advance in engineering skills and knowledge. Hope many more local engineers could register
and successfully earn the CEng.”
Ir. Ts. Mohd Zaid Akop CEng MIET MIEM MBoT
“Becoming a Chartered Engineer has made me be a more confident and responsible engineer.
I am recognised in the industry as someone who has demonstrated competencies against an

Chartered Engineer. I would definitely recommend getting chartered to my fellow engineers.
Getting chartered is a great confidence boost, respected by colleagues and has credibility
within the industry.”
Vigneswara Rao CEng MIET
“Being a professional engineer is very important because it benefits me personally and can
help organizations to achieve the accreditation. It is also a recognition of my engineering
practices and experiences that have greatly impacted to society.”
Ir. Mohd Asri Yusuff CEng MIET MIEM
“First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude by saying thank you for all your
help in guiding me obtaining my CEng. The experience I have gained while preparing my
paper for CEng registration was challenging and fun at the same time. But all of it is worth it
once I received a letter from IET saying that I have passed the Chartered Engineer
registration. To be working in the underdog industry such as Palm Oil Mill, I can hardly see
any engineer in the same field that has obtained a CEng certificate. Therefore, to seek
guidance from more experienced people in this field is almost impossible but with much
dedication and focus along with the help of Tn. Mazlee, I was able to do it. Nothing is
impossible if you put your effort and time in something that you put your mind into it. I
would like to encourage all engineers out there to start thinking and working your way in
obtaining the CEng especially engineers in the same field as mine so that we can create a
healthy community with competent CEng that can help bring this industry into the future. To
be called a professional engineer means that people look up to you therefore it helps me to
push myself harder in widening my engineering knowledge."
Ir. Ts Mohd Afif Mohd Aini CEng MIET MIEM MBoT
“As an engineer, I believe that we should associate ourselves with any professional body or
institution be it either local or international. This is one of the ways for us to enhance the
overall status of our profession. I would encourage any potential engineers to find out the
requirements, as soon as they have been involve and given the responsibilities that they have
had. These can be used as evidence when they put in their application. The support from a
good mentor is hugely beneficial and for me, I will not be able to sail this journey smoothly
without the support of my mentor and superior. As a professional/chartered engineers, we
must honour the recognition. Gaining a professional title establishes a person's proven
knowledge, understanding, and competence to a set standard and demonstrates their
commitment to developing and enhancing his/her competence to engineer a better world.
