I have recently applied for CEng registration. I provided 5 supporters for my application and each of them completed their Inquiry form quickly. IET worked faster and I moved to Stage 3 (PRI) stage within a matter of days once they received all Inquiry Forms.

Does anyone know how long it takes for IET to arrange the interview once your application moves to stage 3 team?

Thanks.

In my case, about 2 months. Application moved to that stage mid-October and I have my PRI tomorrow.

I think it varies by area and depends how busy everyone is!

How do you know it went to stage 3 so quickly ?

Normally, if there is a prima-face case (right levels of education, experience apparent etc) then a very brief review can move the candidate to stage 3 where there is a request for interview. Then, ist a bit more random: All interviewers are working (or retired) engineers and there is a balance of getting them together, along with other candidates (as more than one interview takes place) and fixing a venue.

Normally would be 4-8 weeks. The result of the interview should be available to you around 6 weeks later (but again is dependent on volunteer availability).

From application to result, a working target is 3-4 months. It gets longer the more complicated the case (not right levels of education, unusual career, holiday periods, stage 2 assessment etc)
