Engineering Accreditations
Many of our engineering courses are recognised by professional bodies and carry accreditations as a marker for the quality of teaching, and to ensure that professional standards are being met.
Engineering Council
The Engineering Council grants licences to professional engineering institutions, allowing them to assess candidates for inclusion on the national register of professional engineers and technicians.
The first step to becoming professionally registered with the Engineering Council as EngTech, IEng, CEng or ICTTech is membership of a licensed professional engineering institution.
An institution will act as the awarding body for professional registrations. This institution will be dependant our your chosen area of study. Please check your chosen area of study, for associated accreditations.
