Journey with the PWI
Professional registration is recognition that an individual’s competence and commitment has been assessed and that they have attained the standard required for admission to the Engineering Council Register at the appropriate level.
It provides a benchmark through which employers, clients and the public can have confidence and trust that registered individuals have met the globally recognised professional standard.
