What is Electrician EngTech?

Electrician EngTech is a category of Professional Registration.

Once you are awarded EngTech, this is referred to as being professionally registered.

  • It proves to employers, customers and colleagues that you have achieved a high standard of engineering professionalism.
  • It demonstrates that you can fulfil your role and you hold the sort of work ethic valued by an employer.
  • It can offer improved career prospects, higher earning potential and much greater respect and influence at work.

Electrician EngTech is specifically based on the qualifications and experience held by electricians. It’s likely that your own experience to date will mean you can become registered and if you’re not quite ready yet, we can help you.
