Engineering Council Registration

Members of the IOR can now apply for registration with the Engineering Council (ECUK) to become a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Engineering Technician (EngTech). 

Members must meet the criteria laid down by the ECUK (see Criteria for Competency below), and will need to fill in an application form as well as submitting an Engineering Practice Report and Development Report.  Full details are shown on the forms below.

Applications should be sent to the IOR in the first instance, and they will then be assessed by CIBSE as the nominating body and be allocated Partner Grade of membership (non fee paying).  CIBSE will arrange for a Professional Review meeting, or interview, with a panel if the application meets the ECUK criteria.

Briefing Sessions on the registration process are offered periodically at the CIBSE Conference Centre in Balham contact Pearl Mensah for details of the next event at pmensah@cibse.org
