Benefits of professional registration - Individuals

Registering as a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Engineering Technician (EngTech) or ICT Technician (ICTTech) affords the following benefits:

• International recognition of your competence and knowledge
• Certifies you as an industry leading ICT professional
• Higher earnings potential - up to £152,000 more in a lifetime
• Increases likelihood of being picked for special projects
• Enhanced career prospects - greater status and influence
• Post-nominals - e.g. S Jones ICTTech, MITP
• Confirms your commitment to continuous professional development (CPD) with focused learning
• Access life-long learning resources

As a result, registrants often find that:

• It is easier to gain promotion, or a new job.
• Their pay compares favourably with unregistered engineers and increasingly against other qualified professionals.
• They are more likely to be listened to, whether in the boardroom or the court their engineering credentials are respected in most parts of the world.
• They have access to a network of similarly qualified and experienced experts in their field - through their Institution. Each Institution has been assessed by the Engineering Council as being capable of providing comprehensive professional development guidance and opportunities, with a regular magazine to assist in this, and many opportunities to network. The Institutions keep them abreast of job opportunities, with regular reminders of their professional standing - and of the obligations they owe to society.
