This joint IET-ITP member registration agreement means that members of the ITP can apply for professional registration as the IET is a licensing authority. ITP members of this scheme will be entitled to use qualification designatory letters CEng, IEng, EngTech or ICTTech after their name once they are awarded registration.
Brendan O’Mahony, the ITP chief executive, commented: “Responses from our online survey and discussions with our corporate members, revealed an extremely positive response about the benefits of being professionally recognised for their skills and experience. Thus I am delighted that ITP members now have the opportunity to be awarded registrations through this new ITP service.”
Robin McGill, IET chief executive, said: “Increasingly, the IET is forming partnerships with other institutions as part of a collaborative approach to raising professional standards across the industry worldwide. Through this agreement we are able to complement the offering to ITP members and provide them with professional registration that has not been available in the past, boosting their professional competence and the professionalism of the industry.”
O’Mahony and McGill signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Monday 12 January at the IET’s London home, Savoy Place.
