Fees for professional registration

You will be required to pay a non-refundable application fee for EngTech professional registration. This fee should be paid within seven days of submission of your application in order for the application process to begin.

Professional registration fees are payable in Sterling (GBP £), with special arrangements in some other currencies.

Successful applicants are also required to pay an entrance fee which is collected by the IET on behalf of the Engineering Council. Only on receipt of this payment can your details be sent to the Engineering Council for inclusion on their register. Once your details have been added to the Engineering Council register you are able to use your EngTech professional registration designatory letters.

Please note that if payment is not received within three months of notification, your application may be closed.

Who can act as my supporter(s)?

You must nominate one or optionally two supporter(s) to endorse the details of your application.

Your supporter(s) should have direct knowledge of your role and responsibilities over the past two years and be at least one of the following:

  • Member or Fellow of the IET, or another organisation of equivalent standing;
  • Current line manager, employer or senior colleague;
  • The second supporter is optional and may be necessary, for example, if you work on contracts.

Your supporter(s) are required to:

  • sign copies of any education or work-based learning certificate(s) you have submitted, to confirm they are true copies;
  • complete and return (within 21 days) inquiry forms to support your application. Your application cannot progress until inquiry forms have been received.
