I found the application process for the IEng standard route straight forward, any questions I did have were easily resolved by the education department. Although I was nervous about the interview, my mind was put at ease from when I first arrived at the venue, where I was greeted by a senior member of the institute. The panel were very friendly and made me feel comfortable as we discussed my submission.

If you work within the Highways and Transportation industry, then there is no real reason to choose any other institution than CIHT to prove that you are a competent professional in exactly your field. The whole process of applying and achieving professional qualifications is straight forward and the support material available is second to none.
Lee Holt, Jacobs
I am more than happy to endorse the CIHT as a professional membership body. The process to gain a professional qualification is far simpler and more streamlined than that of other institutions. The institution itself is very progressive and consistently proves that it sticks to its values.

If you are interested in applying for IEng registration through CIHT, please complete our quick and simple online initial assessment so that the CIHT Education Team can confirm your route. The routes are as follows:
Standard Route - you meet the academic benchmark set by the Engineering Council and can proceed directly to Professional Review.

Other courses may be covered by international agreements such as the Sydney Accord.
Individual Route - you do not meet the academic benchmark and will need to complete further learning or undergo a form of assessment (e.g. a Technical Report) to demonstrate your knowledge to the required level, before you are eligible to proceed to Professional Review.
The online initial assessment form is free of charge for members and non-members.

Additional memberships exist where the registrant has been awarded their title (e.g. IEng) 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.
