Agreement between the Engineering Council and the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES).

The Engineering Council have reached an agreement with the NCEES.

This agreement only applies to CEngs and Professional Engineers (P.Es) (from a participating state) who are also registered as ‘International Professional Engineers’ (IntPEs).

UK Chartered Engineers seeking recognition in the US should go to ncees.org to request an account and build their NCEES record. Guidance is available throughout the process and by email at help@ncees.org.

Once an applicant has obtained their NCEES ID, they can complete the proforma, which is available on the Engineering Council website, and send it to international@engc.org.uk to request confirmation of their registration.

The Engineering Council will request written confirmation of the applicant's permission to contact the IET to verify an applicant’s current standing.  Following receipt of this information, the form will be signed by the Engineering Council, and confirmation of good standing will be sent to the NCEES, being added to the applicant's NCEES record.

Registered P.E IntPEs seeking CEng registration in the UK must be Members of the IET or must join the IET before the assessment of their application. 

The applicant should contact help@ncees.org to confirm their license/IntPE registration, good standing and confirm they are applying for CEng registration through the IET. 

The NCEES will send this information, alongside the applicant’s NCEES record, to the Engineering Council, who will arrange to send the information to the IET. 

Applicants must complete the standard registration form with full assessment fee but do not need to provide documentary evidence of their qualifications, unless requested. 

Eligible P.Es who are IntPE registered in a participating state can apply for CEng registration either by using Career Manager or by completing the CEng Professional Registration application form, which can be downloaded from our website.
