Aberdeen branch has now launched the 2022YEP which will run for a full year from January.
The branch received 50 applications for this session, and after a thorough review by branch committee members, 20 applicants were selected for the programme and 3 were selected as reserves. Also 15 applications were found suitable for future YEP programmes and were advised to re-apply for YEP 2024. The first session was held on 27th January by Zoom due to the current uncertainties regarding the COVID restrictions in Scotland. At present the February talk is likely to be similarly organised online, although it is hoped to hold subsequent presentations in-person.
The full 2022 syllabus is givenbelow.

Following on from the popular Young ICorr Festive Quiz of 2020, another online event was held on Thursday 16th December, 2021, preceded by a talk from Bill Hedges, ICorr President (pictured right), on “A career in corrosion and its importance in the future of energy including renewables”. The general energy outlook indicates that there is an increasing global energy demand and that hydrocarbons still contribute to the majority of the global energy mix. However, this talk highlighted new energy sectors and where corrosion will continue to have a negative impact on such sectors.Bill’s presentation covered three themes including (i) A career in corrosion, (ii) Corrosion and materials challenges facing hydrocarbon production, and finally (iii) How corrosion can impact the future of renewable energies.Although significant progress and great advancements have been made in the field of corrosion control and management, many challenges remain as we embark on a joint global venture to achieve net-zero; the requirement for future innovation in the energy sectors is more important than ever. On this basis, and from his own experiences as a corrosion engineer. Bill concluded that the future is bright and exciting for anyone pursuing a career in corrosion-related disciplines.
Following the talk by Bill, the quiz winners were revealed as the team ‘Corrosion Forever’. After which there was a networking session to enable young ICorr members to interact with their peers whilst presenting an opportunity to ask the more senior ICorr members questions.
Further events are planned for 2022 and more information will be uploaded to our website and social media pages. Please, follow Young ICorr on LinkedIn to ensure you do not miss out on future events.

the new 4th edition of UK-SPEC has been issued and is now in force from the beginning of 2022
The changes to UK-SPEC aim for greater clarity, making the requirements, i.e. the Standard itself, more obvious, while providing better examples of how applicants might provide evidence of having met the Standard.The new edition is more informative, particularly with respect to assessment.
For consistency, a number of terms have been amended:
Applicant – Potential registrants are referred to as “applicant” in place of “candidate”
Recognised Qualifications and Individual Assessment – These terms replace ‘Standard Route’ and ‘Individual Route’.
Licensee – in place of ‘PEI’, ‘Professional Engineering Institution’, ‘licensed PEI’, and ‘Institution’
The competences and evidence examples have been revised to clarify the requirements
ICorr and the Society of Operations Engineers (SOE), have now upgraded their procedures and forms to comply with the 4th Edition, and all new applications must now be on the new forms.The new forms and associated documents can be downloaded
