What do I need to gain EngTech?
Registrants at this level should have a Level 3 qualification as part of an approved apprenticeship scheme.
Applicants who do not have the recognised qualifications will instead have an individual assessment of their qualifications and any other relevant learning.
During the application for EngTech, registrants will be asked to demonstrate engineering knowledge and understanding, evidence of their contributions, and effective interpersonal skills. For the full list, view the Engineering Council's UK-SPEC standards document.

Standards required for engineers
The UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC), published by the Engineering Council, describes the value of becoming registered and explains the steps necessary to achieve professional registration.
It outlines the requirements that have to be met and the competencies that need to be displayed in order to gain these qualifications and gives examples of ways of doing this.
