Engineering is a highly mobile profession. Engineering Council registration is open to anyone who can demonstrate they meet the UK Standard of Professional Engineering Competence, regardless of nationality or location.

The aim of our international activity is to ensure that Engineering Council standards are globally recognised and to facilitate the international mobility of engineering professionals.

To fulfil this aim we are:

• the UK partner in the International Engineering Alliance, the European Federation of National Engineering Associations (FEANI) and the European Network for the Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE)
• the UK signatory to international engineering education agreements known as: the Dublin Accord, Sydney Accord and Washington Accord
• the holder of the UK Section of the International Registers of Professional Engineers and Engineering Technologists
• the UK National Member of FEANI, responsible for
  • receiving applications for European Engineer (EUR ING) registration
  • submitting accredited engineering programmes to the FEANI INDEX
• the UK’s authorised agency for award of the EUR-ACE® label to accredited first and second cycle accredited engineering education programmes

There are numerous national, regional and international engineering organisations. The Engineering Council has relationships with many of these either directly, or indirectly through the professional engineering institutions and other partner organisations
