MEMBERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS MARKING PANEL REVIEW
Your application will firstly be reviewed by IPowerE staff to ensure it is complete. If the evidence you have supplied is sufficient, your academic qualifications will then be reviewed. If you possess
Recognised Qualifications (an accredited BEng Hons in Engineering or a cognate subject) your application will then undergo assessment against the UK-SPEC standard of competence. If you do
not possess Recognised Qualifications then your application will be subject to Individual Assessment, during which your qualifications and any other relevant learning, will be reviewed against the
Engineering Council requirements of Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes. To support this, you may be asked to provide further information on your qualifications and relevant learning, or
possibly to a write a technical / experiential report and attend an associated interview. Following a successful Individual Assessment, your application will then be assessed against the UK-SPEC
standard of competence.
The assessment against the UK-SPEC standard of competence is undertaken in two stages. In the first stage your application will be submitted to a panel of suitably qualified and registered
Engineers for peer review (Professional Review of Competence and Commitment). We will then either invite you to a Professional Review Interview or contact you if we need further information. The
Professional Review Interview is the second stage of the process, in which your portfolio of evidence against the requirements will be tested by a panel of suitably qualified and registered Engineers
(a minimum of two). The panel will then make a recommendation as to whether you meet the requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer.
Finally, the recommendations from the assessors will be reviewed by the Registration Committee. If they confirm the recommendations, you will be informed by IPowerE as soon as possible. If
successful, Engineering Council will be informed of your application and the recommendation. They will then issue you with a welcome pack, including a registration certificate, and you will
formally be able to use your new post nominal letters. If you have not received your welcome pack within four weeks of notification, please contact us. If unsuccessful, we will write to you and
explain the reason for this decision, including recommendations and further advice. You will be guided on how to resubmit your application at a later date. An appeals process is available where
applicants may appeal against a decision if they feel the process has not been fair. More information can be obtained from IPowerE on request.
