I always recommend CIHT to my colleagues and the Professional Review process confirmed what I thought from the start - CIHT is the way to go and I'll definitely encourage others to join. It's a great institution for all transport professionals!
Jakub Dziurdz, WSP
I have found the CIHT review application process to be straight forward and very well organised. The Education Team were very helpful, and always provided detailed information in a short period of time when I required advice. I would recommend the CIHT to colleagues seeking similar professional qualifications.

If you are interested in applying for CEng registration through CIHT, please complete our quick and simple online initial assessment so that the CIHT Education Team can confirm your route. The routes are as follows:
Standard Route - you meet the academic benchmark set by the Engineering Council and can proceed directly to Professional Review. This requires you to submit a Portfolio of Evidence and attend a Professional Review interview. The academic benchmark is as follows:
Other courses may be covered by international agreements such as the Washington Accord, FEANI and EUR-ACE.
Individual Route - you do not meet the academic benchmark and will need to complete further learning or undergo a form of assessment (e.g. a Technical Report) to demonstrate your knowledge to the required level, before you are eligible to proceed to Professional Review.
The online initial assessment form is free of charge for members and non-members.

Additional memberships exist where the registrant has been awarded their title (e.g. CEng) by two separate institutions. The Engineering Council only issues one certificate on initial registration. However, secondary certificates can be purchased via the Engineering Council’s website.
Find out more and apply todayHolding more than one professional registration at the same time, , is known as dual registration. Dual registrations exist where a registrant has been awarded more than one of the Engineering Council’s titles (e.g. EngTech and IEng or IEng and CEng) and each of these has been awarded by a different institution. The Engineering Council issues dual registrants with a certificate for each title.
Dual registration is therefore only possible for those registered with separate titles, via separate institutions, paying separate registration fees for each title. To find out more contact education@ciht.org.uk
