The IMarEST recognises that the training offered to Royal Navy Marine Engineer Officers and Ratings is amongst the best in the world, with excellent professional development assessment and quality control mechanisms in place.
Consequently, under the licence authority vested in it by the Engineering Council, and in partnership with the RN, the IMarEST has created a special streamlined process for Marine Engineer Officers and Ratings to apply for IMarEST Professional Membership and Registration as Chartered Engineer (CEng, CMarEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng, IMarEng), and Engineering Technician (EngTech, MarEngTech) depending on their level of experience.
The IMarEST’s streamlined route to membership and registration requires only the completion of a short application form, confirmation of RN qualifications and copies of academic certificates.
* Please note that this streamlined route is a standard route. Experienced people with early career training may well be eligible for membership and registration sooner, but they will need to go through the usual IMarEST professional review process.
Which category of membership and registration should I apply for?
RN Officers wishing to join/upgrade to the category of Fellow (FIMarEST)*
(Please apply using form ref no. RN/FIMarEST) |

* Non members of the IMarEST who hold the rank of Commander or above and wish to gain Professional Registration in addition to membership should fill out the appropriate registration category form (ref: RAN/CEng or RAN/IEng) and select the FIMarEST category in section 3.
