Technical Report

Non-Exemplifying Route to Chartered and Incorporated Engineer

Applicants for CEng or IEng who do not have exemplifying qualifications to demonstrate the required knowledge and understanding may do so in other ways, but must clearly demonstrate they have achieved the same level of knowledge and understanding as those with qualifications.

One of these ways is the Technical Report Option

The purpose of the Technical Report is to provide a mechanism for applicants who lack the full benchmark academic base to demonstrate that their professional engineering experience has compensated for any shortfall.

Applicants should seek approval before proceeding with this route.

The burden of proof upon the applicant is stringent. Individuals must submit evidence in the form of a Technical Report and eventually a Professional Review Report to show that they have acquired a thorough understanding of engineering principles through the combination of initial qualification and subsequent professional development to underpin the UKSPEC exemplifying route, i.e Masters Level (for Chartered Engineers "CEng") or Bachelors Level (for Incorporated Engineers "IEng").
