Registration and Professional Qualifications

Professional Registration
A major benefit of belonging to a professional institution such as IAgrE is that it demonstrates you have attained certain minimum standards of education and training. Membership of IAgrE is an internationally recognised professional qualification in its own right.

IAgrE, as a licensed body of the Engineering Council (EngC) and the Society for the Environment (SocEnv), can offer its members professional registration which:

• Identifies you as having competences that employers value
• Indicates your competence and commitment to professionalism, and that these have been assessed by other professionals working in your area of expertise
• Demonstrates that your competence may be compared with standards applicable in other parts of the world
• Confirms your commitment to professionalism, which is underwritten by the support of both IAgrE, as a national institution, and the licensing authorities as mentioned above

IAgrE can offer you access to the following registers/professional qualifications:
