Technical Report Option

The Technical Report Option is a rigorous, yet straightforward route open to any rail infrastructure engineer who does not hold the necessary exemplifying qualifications.  This process enables practising engineers to demonstrate that they have attained the required knowledge and understanding of the underpinning mathematics and scientific and engineering principles, to the required level, through their career and professional development.

The TRO route is a challenging process, demanding the same level of commitment and acumen required to complete an accredited degree. It is important that you have the backing of two colleagues who know you well and believe that, in addition to their support, you have the capability to achieve your desired level. 

Your supporter should be someone who knows you well and works with you on a regular basis, such as your line manager or a colleague.  Your sponsor/mentor must be a registered Chartered engineer with any Engineering Council listed professional engineering institution. Again, they should be someone who knows you well.
