Applying for professional registration
If you’re ready to apply for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng), Engineering Technician (EngTech) or ICT Technician (ICTTech), you’ll need to become an IET member first. You can apply online via the standard route, or if you're still currently serving, you may be eligible to apply via a Defence Engineer Registration Scheme (DERS).
