Engineers' Registration
As a Licensed Member of the Engineering Council (EC), the Institute encourages members to register with the EC. The Institute can assess suitably qualified members for admission to the EC Register as Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and Engineering Technician (EngTech).
CEng, IEng and EngTech now follow either the ‘Recognised Qualification Route’ or ‘Individual Assessment Route’. All requirements and information about the UK-SPEC can be found on the Engineering Council (EC) website:
http://www.engc.org.uk/standards-guidance/standards/uk-spec/
Download the UK-SPEC Standard for Chartered Engineers, Incorporated Engineers and Engineering Technicians.
Please send completed application and any supporting documentation to: The Registrar, The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing, Midsummer House, Riverside Way, Bedford Road, Northampton NN1 5NX, UK.
Becoming a professionally registered engineer demonstrates your high standard of competence and commitment. By choosing to register, you set yourself apart as an engineer with high standards and also demonstrate your commitment to maintain that competence in the future. Watch the following video (© Engineering Council) for more information about how you can benefit from professional registration and for more information about becoming a professionally registered engineer or technician. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEPg8lsElBA
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Engineering Technician – EngTech
Registration Route:
Possession of one or more of the academic qualifications approved by the Engineering Council, for example BTEC/SCOTVEC Ordinary Certificate or equivalent in an approved subject; and
A minimum of three years’ combined approved professional development in NDT, condition monitoring or allied technologies.
Applicants, who are voting members of the Institute holding at least a current PCN Level 2 qualification may seek EngTech registration without interview.
Applicants without the preferred academic qualifications may be able to apply for an Individual Route appraisal. This separate procedure, administered by BINDT, involves an in-depth appraisal of the knowledge and experience acquired. Experienced, practising professional Engineering Technicians are often found to have gained the necessary knowledge and skills for their job through working closely with other skilled colleagues over a number of years.

Incorporated Engineer – IEng
Registration Route:
Possession of one or more of the academic qualifications approved by the Engineering Council, for example an accredited bachelor's or honours degree in engineering or technology, or equivalent qualifications in approved subjects, or acceptable combinations of PCN certification or NDT Engineer apprenticeship; and
A minimum of five years’ professional development in NDT, condition monitoring or allied technologies, with at least two years in position(s) of approved responsibility.
Applicants who do not have recognised qualifications to demonstrate the required knowledge and understanding may do so in other ways via the Individual Route, but must clearly demonstrate that they have achieved the same level of knowledge and understanding as those with qualifications.
These ways include:
Assessment of submitted technical reports;
Evaluation of competence by matching against the UK-SPEC requirements; and
Taking an acceptable academic programme.
