It is possible, if you click on Membership then Chartered Engineer/Scientist the options are detailed. However if it takes as long as it does to apply for professional membership I wouldnt bother!! Youll be retired before you make chartered status with ICorr. |

The route to CEng can be found under Education & Training and while it is likely to take longer than an application for Professional Membership, it is should still be relatively straighforward compared with most other routes. Please check out the link and contact the Institute or myself if you would like to discuss the options. Paul the Pres. |

The problem is that all the requirements are so \"qualitative\" rather than \"quantitative\", so if you apply (no matter what certifications and quals you have) you won\'t be sure if you\'d be accepted or not.
One qurey to Paul is that if you can come with a more clear requirements to the CEng that would be highly appreciated by all members. I know that the requiremetns are set by Engineering Council, but a clarification is what we\'re after really. |

Thanks for you comments regarding chartership. Unfortunately there is always going to be a considerable need for the 'qualitative' as the applicant is having to demonstrate their experience above and beyond their more formal and quantifiable training. The requirements are constantly under review and we are currently in talks that should help clarify (and may be even simplify) the route to chartership. |

I presume that many people may also be members of another professional body (RSC, IChemE, IMechE etc). For me its much easier to pursue chartered status with the RSC than ICorr. They have a structured 2 year professional development scheme for chemists and fortunately there is enough overlap between corrosion and chemistry for me to achieve chartered (CChem) status this way. Additionally as the RSC is approved/a member of the science council a CChem award automatically gets you a CSci to, so there's no real need for me to use the ICorr route to chartership - unless it could get someone with a science degree CEng?
Cheers
