How can Fellowship help you?
Fellowship is the prestigious IET membership level awarded only to individuals who have demonstrated recent significant achievement(s) sustained at high levels for a period of at least five years in engineering, technology, or related disciplines relevant to the IET (usually within the last 10 years).
Our Fellows come from a wide range of backgrounds and roles with a common aspiration of promoting themselves and our industry to the wider world. As a Fellow you’ll benefit from:
- being able to use the designatory letters FIET after your name, as a clear. statement of IET and peer recognition
- having an internationally recognised accreditation (and a certificate).
- increased recognition with employers.
- opportunities to shape the future of engineering by joining panels, events and discussions.
- being able to give back as a mentor or ambassador to young people.
- our exclusive Fellows LinkedIn group for global networking.
Are you eligible?
All our Fellow applications are peer-reviewed, so you can feel confident you’re being assessed by a panel of your equals.
You’ll need to complete an application form that demonstrates that you fulfil at least two of the nine Fellowship criteria: creativity, enterprise, innovation, insight and experience, leadership, repute, responsibility, service, and influence and contribution.
You’ll find full details of what counts towards each criterion in our downloadable Criteria for Fellowship PDF guide.
