In addition to Membership, the IMarEST is licensed by the Engineering Council (UK) and the Science Council to provide a range of registers covering the fields of engineering, science and technology. In addition, the IMarEST’s Royal Charter empowers the Institute to offer registers designed to meet the specific needs of the marine profession. 

The standards required for registers owned by the IMarEST match those outlined by the Engineering Council UK’s ‘UK-SPEC’ and the Science Council’s 'CSci professional standard'.

This is with the exception of the following registers which apply IMarEST’s own standard requirements:

• Registered Marine Scientist RMarSci
• Marine Technician MarTech
• Chartered Marine Technologist CMarTech
• Registered Marine Technologist RMarTech

Please click image below for outlines of the types of registration available, the associated registering body and the location of the appropriate standards documents online.
