Becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng) demonstrates your level of skills and knowledge within the profession.
The first stage in the process is to submit an initial assessment. This can be completed here. CIHT will confirm the options available to you in an initial assessment outcome e-mail. Further information about some of the routes to professional registration can be found below.

“Chartered Engineers develop solutions to complex engineering problems using new or existing technologies, and through innovation, creativity and technical analysis".
I always recommend CIHT to my colleagues and the Professional Review process confirmed what I thought from the start - CIHT is the way to go and I'll definitely encourage others to join. It's a great institution for all transport professionals!
Jakub Dziurdz, WSP
I have found the CIHT review application process to be straight forward and very well organised. The Education Team were very helpful, and always provided detailed information in a short period of time when I required advice. I would recommend the CIHT to colleagues seeking similar professional qualifications.

Chartered Engineers are able to demonstrate:
The criteria against which candidates are assessed are set down by the Engineering Council in Competence and Commitment Statements
The Engineering Council published the 4th edition of UK-SPEC on 1 October 2020. CIHT’s professional review submission template has been updated to reflect the Standards in the 4th edition. Applications for professional review from October 2021 must be based on the Standards in the 4th edition of UK-SPEC. A summary of the changes in the 4th edition can be found here. uk-spec-fourth-edition-summary-of-key-changes.pdf (engc.org.uk)
You do not need to be a CIHT member to complete an initial assessment. However, should you wish to proceed in applying for professional registration, you will need to become a CIHT member at the required membership grade

It only takes five minutes - a simple and concise form ensures that you can start the process without hassle.
You do not need to be a CIHT member to complete an initial assessment and it is completely free of charge.
Please ensure you include the following documents with your initial assessment:
Please note that we will be required to bring the original certificates with you at the later Professional Review interview. If documents are not in English please provide English language translations.
Additional memberships exist where the registrant has been awarded their title (e.g. CEng) by two separate institutions. The Engineering Council only issues one certificate on initial registration. However, secondary certificates can be purchased via the Engineering Council’s website.
Holding more than one professional registration at the same time, for example EngTech and IEng or IEng and CEng, is known as dual registration.
Dual registrations exist where a registrant has been awarded more than one of the Engineering Council’s titles and each of these has been awarded by a different institution. The Engineering Council issues dual registrants with a certificate for each title.
Dual registration is therefore only possible for those registered with separate titles, via separate institutions, paying separate registration fees for each title.
