We are excited to announce the launch of a new route for CIHT members to gain the Chartered Engineer (CEng) qualification through an Experiential Learning option. This new route allows CIHT members with partially accredited engineering degrees or Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status to demonstrate Master's level learning, paving the way to CEng. Please refer to the guidance document at the bottom of the page (under Individual Route Templates) for further information. Should you have any queries, please contact education@ciht.org.uk.
CIHT have helped me so much on my journey to become a Chartered Engineer. Any questions I had were always answered swiftly and explained in great detail. I would highly recommend CIHT to anyone looking to progress their career.

I found the process straightforward thanks to the support of CIHT. The online submission process is useful as a checklist and can be easily reviewed and updated before final submission. The reviewers were welcoming and put me at ease, allowing me to feel more comfortable at my Professional Review.
Andrew Berry-Fincham, Atkins
I would highly recommend CIHT as an Institution to seek Chartership through. The online system is very straightforward and easy to use, putting the emphasis on the content of your submission rather than formatting a large document. I had many questions along the way that were all answered very quickly by the Education Team and the reviewers at the Professional Review were welcoming.

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.
Find out more and apply todayHolding more than one professional registration at the same time, , is known as dual registration. Dual registrations exist where a registrant has been awarded more than one of the Engineering Council’s titles (e.g. EngTech and IEng or IEng and CEng) 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. To find out more contact education@ciht.org.uk
