Overview

The Individual Case Procedure (ICP) process ensures that we provide a flexible, accessible pathway to all those who do not hold an accredited degree that meets in full the requirements of the Engineering Council, the Science Council and the IMarEST’s registers’ standards.

Candidates without accredited qualifications will need to submit their membership and/or professional registration application form to the panel for review, which will then allow a more focused assessment of the candidates’ background knowledge and permit a more tailored request for information against the requirements.

Applications which are required to go through the ICP route are reviewed by the ICP panel and ratified by the Membership Committee.

What you'll be doing

ICP Reviewers are academics or industrialists who give their time voluntarily to represent IMarEST.

ICP Reviewers are required to work in small teams with other ICP Reviewers to:

  • Assess candidates objectively against defined criteria, comply with IMarEST standards and requirements
  • Assess candidates’ documentation and reach a mutual decision whether the candidate meets the education base requirements against IMarEST membership requirements
  • Assess candidates’ documentation and reach a mutual decision whether the candidate meets the education base requirements against the Engineering Council/Science Council/IMarEST technologist registers
  • Agree with the co-reviewers and provide feedback if a candidate’s submission does not meet the requirements
  • Comply with ICP procedures and schedules to ensure all applications are dealt with in a timely manner
