We interview all new registrants for Chartered engineer (CEng) and Incorporated engineer (IEng) membership after we’ve checked their academic qualifications and supporting documents.
This interview is called the Professional Review Interview.
There are many other routes to membership and these all require volunteer assessors to carry out interviews or desk-based reviews.
To become a Professional Review volunteer, you must be professionally registered as a CEng or an IEng member or Fellow.
You must be able to give some of your time up for around two interviews each year or be available to conduct desk-based assessments.

Emma is not only a Professional Reviewer but also a mentor, putting her in a prime position to best advise developing engineers prior to the interview process.
Interviewers
Interviewers carry out a review of an applicant's written submission and their performance at a Professional Review Interview. They then make a recommendation to our Professional Review Committee. There will always be two interviewers per Professional Review Interview.
In most cases, interviews measure applicants against the
UK Standard for Professional
Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) requirements. They can take place in the UK or in one of over a hundred other countries where we have locally-based members.
Applicants for Fellow membership may sometimes be asked to attend an interview after a desk review.
Industrial Advisors
The Industrial Advisor’s main task is to make an initial peer assessment of applications when an interview is not initially required:
- Applications for transfer from Member to Fellow
- Applications from existing CEng, IEng or EngTech registrants
- Applications via a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA)
- Applications via the European Mobility Directive (EMD)
Industrial Advisors only conduct desk-based assessments and will normally review applicants from their own area of expertise or specialist industry.
Depending on the levels of activity within each region of the UK, Interviewers will normally participate in at least two interviews per year.
We allocate dates quarterly using an online management tool allowing Interviewers to control how much time they can contribute.
International Interviews are organised on a needs basis, determined by each country. We contact local Interviewers as required.
We contact Industrial Advisors at various points throughout the year with requests to review one to five applications at a time. The expected report turnaround time is two weeks.
You can be based in the UK or abroad to be a Professional Review volunteer – either an Interviewer or an Industrial Advisor.
