[QUOTE="Graz, post: 1081124, member: 15195"] Maybe... I have a Engineering degree and an Engineering career spanning some 27 years but I've never bothered to go down the Chartered route as it doesn't seem to make much if any difference on a CV. There might be 1 or 2 companies that really place some value on it but most don't. That said I'm speaking as an Electrical and Electronic Engineer, it may be different for other disciplines. I've also been a member of our industry body The IET since university and they decide who can be Chartered or not, if I wanted to go that route it would largely be a paperwork exercise and maybe an interview but I just don't see the point at the moment. In some other countries, Germany springs to mind, it is a protected title and you can only call yourself “Ingenieur” if you have the qualifications and training same as a doctor or architect in this country. I'm all for making the profession a bit more prestigious but I can't see it changing now we have so many faux engineers and to be honest I'm over it 😁 [/QUOTE]
