Chat to a Mentor

Our Mentoring service is perfectly placed to match you with someone who’ll help you make the most of your career opportunities; it’s always a plus to have invaluable insight from someone who’s been through the Professional Registration process before.

We’re upgrading our contact centre to make it quicker and easier for you to speak to the right member of our team.

From Thursday, 30 to  Friday, 31 October, our phone lines will be temporarily unavailable while we upgrade our systems. For any urgent enquiries during this time, please email membership@theiet.org and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

From Monday, 3 November, we’re moving to one central phone number for all enquiries. This change will make it easier to reach the right team quickly and improve your experience. 

Thank you for your patience as we improve how we connect with you.
