Job requirement:

To reach a high level in your professional life, Chartership may a prerequisite. Many authorities and employers need engineers to be Chartered to sign off some certain work. It is because this title provides them with the assurance that the engineer is competent and one of the best engineers.

Mutual recognition:

In the case of having an engineering registration with a signatory to Washington, Sydney, or Dublin Accord, you may be qualified for direct entry into Chartered Membership.

Knowledge assessment:

If you are without a Washington Accord-accredited qualification, demonstrate equal knowledge for entry into Professional Engineer (Chartered Membership or Chartered Professional Engineer) by completing a knowledge assessment.

In the case of not having a Sydney or Dublin Accord-accredited qualification, your equal knowledge will be assessed as a part of your Chartership assessment.

 

Difference between Chartered Membership and CPEng Registration:

You have two pathways to becoming Chartered as a professional engineer. This first is by means of Engineering New Zealand Membership as a Chartered Member (CMEngNZ) or through registration as a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng).

The Chartered Member class offers a general quality mark of professionalism with all the benefits that come with membership. CPEng registration offers a mark of current competence on the basis of legislation. You can become both a Chartered Member and CPEng (Chartered Professional Engineer) or only one.

Fees and charges (not including GST):

The fee for the Chartered assessment is $1,721.50.

The fee for knowledge assessment is $1,295.50 (required if applying for Chartered Member and not having a Washington Accord-accredited qualification or recognized equivalent)

Yearly fee $560.00

If joining partway by means of the financial year (1 October-30 September), the authority pro-rates the annual fee on a monthly basis. When membership comes up for renewal on the 1st of October, the authority will send an invoice for the new financial year.

In the case of being on a career break or retired, you can ask for a discounted rate on your yearly fee.
