About Competence Development
The Professional Registration application process requires knowledge, skills and behaviours which take time to develop.
A structured approach to your development will put you on the right path to becoming Professionally Registered.
Whilst the required standards of competence are the same for all members, the path you take will depend on your background and experience.
For some developing engineers, this will be during their first roles but for others, it could be the continuation of a number of years of experience.
We will support your journey, and the guidance below is split up to suit your career stage.

Final year of study or recently graduated?
