Reinstatement of CEng, IEng and EngTech or CTPP 

Reinstating your professional registration depends on what qualification you had and how long ago you stopped being registered.

• If your membership and professional registration (CEng, IEng, EngTech or CTPP) lapsed less than 12 months ago you can simply pay online as above.
• If your membership and professional registration (CEng, IEng, EngTech or CTPP) lapsed between 12 months and three years ago you will need to provide evidence of how you have maintained your competence. Please send the following documents to education@ciht.org.uk:
  • Your current CV
  • Your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) record showing how you have maintained your professional knowledge and competence
  • Your Development Action Plan (DAP) for the next 12 months

Please note that under Engineering Council regulations, any registrant whose registration lapses for more than three years, must re-apply for the qualification again in full.  This does not apply to CTPP.

If you have any questions regarding reinstating your membership, please contact our Membership Team by email Membership@ciht.org.uk or complete the enquiry form.
