To assist potential applicants, the Engineering Council has developed a public database of approved qualifications and programmes which contribute to professional registration as Engineering Technician (EngTech) or ICT Technician (ICTTech).The database, found on the Engineering Council’s website, can be used to search for apprenticeships, other employer schemes, NVQs/SVQs or vocational qualifications. Providers and employers who are aligned with particular qualifications and schemes can also be identified. In addition, most records contain a link to further detail in the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications, or to the SQA Subject and Qualification finder website.
Users can be fully confident in the quality of qualifications and schemes found on the database, as each one listed will have been through a rigorous approval process by one or more of the 32 professional engineering institutions that are licensed to do so by the Engineering Council.
“We already have a well established database of accredited courses leading to qualifications that partially or fully satisfy the education requirements of Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and Chartered Engineer (CEng) registration, which is used by more than 7,500 visitors each month,” says Jon Prichard, Chief Executive Officer of the Engineering Council. “The addition of this database of technician qualifications and programmes is now proving equally invaluable for those looking to register professionally as technicians.”
