Accreditation

The EI supports companies or educational bodies running energy related training schemes by accrediting their programmes and providing support and resources for their students. The accreditation procedure involves a thorough assessment of the course content, its assessment procedures, its teaching staff and its facilities by a panel of EI experts.  

The EI is licensed by the Engineering Council to accredit courses for Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Engineering Technician (EngTech) status. Courses can also be accredited for Chartered Scientist (CSci) status and Chartered Energy Manager. 

There are three main types of EI accreditation:

Academic Accreditation: Suitable for higher education courses with energy content. Students can gain a host of benefits from the EI including free membership for the duration of their studies and progression to Grad EI status on graduation. They can also use their accredited qualifications towards professional membership of the EI.
