Professional Organisations
The Royal Charter of ECUK empowers it to give formal recognition to those engineering-related professional bodies which satisfy criteria set down in Bye-Laws. Whilst there are numerous technical provisions to be assessed, the principal requirements are that a Licensed Member is deemed to have sufficient experience, procedures and resources to undertake the following tasks.
- monitor the conduct of registrants;
- monitor the continuing professional
- development of registrants; and
- assess the competence and commitment of candidates for registration.
In practice, a Licensed Member acts as the awarding body for registration. Licensed Members may be further licensed to undertake a range of tasks associated with assessment of candidates for registration, concurrently with assessment for Institution membership.
