Professional registration

Planning to work towards CEng, IEng or EngTech in energy? Get your first professional engineering title now!

If you are thinking of applying to become a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer or an Engineering Technician at some point in the future, getting your knowledge and understanding recognised is the first step on your journey.

Why apply?

Demonstrating your foundation knowledge, understanding and skills is essential for all Engineering registration applicants. Interim Registration recognises that you have already met the educational requirements set by the Engineering Council for those working in engineering. It helps you to demonstrate to employers and society, that you are committed to building your professional career and gives you your first professional title.

You can apply for EngTech, IEng or CEng Interim Registration to demonstrate that you are part way to full professional registration. If you are already professionally registered you can use it as a stepping stone to help you move from one type of engineering registration to another.

Who is it for?

If you do not have qualifications which are automatically recognised by the Engineering Council, you will need to apply for Interim registration so that we can look at your other qualifications and experience to confirm that you meet the same standards as those with recognised qualifications, or provide you with advice on how to fill in any gaps.

If you have graduated from University but are yet to gain the professional experience required for full registration, Interim registration gives you your first professional title showing that you are already part way towards achieving full registration.

Accredited Qualifications?

If you hold qualifications that are accredited for the registration you wish to apply for, you may be automatically eligible for successful recognition based on your qualifications.

The first step to applying for Interim Registration is to become an AMEI. Once you're an AMEI, you can start your application for Interim Registration by downloading the application pack.

Meet some of our Chartered Engineers

Emily Spearman

Head of Technology and Methodology in Engineering, bp - Offshore Wind Organisation - London, UK

"I joined the offshore wind industry 11 years ago. It has been really good being part of a fast-growing sector that is trying to fight climate change."

Sudeep Roy

Operations Advisor, Qatargas Operating Company Limited - Doha, Qatar

"My interest in energy started when I visited an industrial facility with my father; the canteen was run on renewable energy, a mix of solar and biogas, something unheard of in 1980s India."

Matthew Henderson

Subsea and Structural Engineering Manager, SSE Renewables

“The scale and ambition of the tidal barrage and lagoon proposal excited me, and made me aware of the complexity and wide ranging factors that needed consideration – all against the backdrop of an increasing need to act.”

Incorporated Engineers are typically involved in managing and maintaining applications, working with current and developing technologies. As an IEng in energy, you could be involved in a range of types of work - engineering design, development, manufacture, construction or operation. Whatever your role, you’ll have both general and specialised engineering knowledge, be able to apply existing and new technologies in energy and have the know-how to apply the appropriate theoretical and practical methods in the workplace.

Before you apply

The first thing you need to do before applying for IEng registration, is check that you have an Engineering Council accredited Bachelors or an approved NVQ4 or SVQ4. If you do not have one of these, you can still apply, you just need to complete Interim IEng registration first, before you apply for full IEng registration. You can check your UK qualifications here: https://www.engc.org.uk/education-skills/course-search/. If you studied outside of the UK or are not sure about your qualifications and would like our help, please join us, and then complete the Interim Registration form - we can then advise you of next steps.

Fees

There is an application fee of £85, plus an initial registration fee from the Engineering Council if you are awarded IEng. Once you are registered, you will also need to pay an Engineering Council annual registration fee which we’ll collect from you on their behalf. See our fees page for more information.

How to apply

Becoming an Incorporated Engineer (IEng )through the Energy Institute requires holding professional membership as either a Member (MEI) or Fellow (FEI).

If you aren’t already a professional member of the EI, you must apply for MEI or FEI in advance of making your application for Chartered Engineer. To find out more please go to https://www.energyinst.org/membership-and-accreditation/membership.

Download the relevant application pack to get started – instructions are included within the pack.

Please note that if you are already a professional member, you can apply for IEng on its own. If you aren’t, you’ll also need to apply to become a Member of the EI (MEI), but you can do this at the same time as you apply for IEng - just select the relevant option from the below:
