Training - By: CardiffJobs

Training to become an Engineer in any discipline will be an intense process with plenty of technical studying and a list of qualifications that have enough letters to form a new alphabet. But despite this, ending up as a qualified Engineer will make it all seem worthwhile.

In order to become a Civil Engineer, candidates are required to have gained a minimum of 2 A-Levels which includes maths as well as five GCSEs all above grade ‘C’. Gaining membership with the Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) is the next crucial step and is necessary to start the training regime. The training is done with an employer alongside active support and guidance from the ICE itself and candidates must complete a set of ‘Development Objectives’ to become fully qualified. These include demonstrating effective interpersonal skills, providing technical and commercial management and demonstrating commitments to professional standards. Once these objectives have been satisfied, then you can apply to become a qualified member of the ICE.

Should you prefer the option of Electrical Engineering then the common way to begin in this profession is to gain a degree of the same title or one in a similar field which can include physics or computing and software engineering amongst others. The training itself can be on-the-job where the bigger companies will offer their own training schedule and a personal development programme.

Alternatively, training to become an Aeronautical Engineer will also require a degree preferably in the subject area of maths, physics, mechanical or aeronautical engineering otherwise it would be close to impossible to enter the industry. The training itself is –again- usually done whilst working on-the-job and can eventually result in membership of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAES) amongst other such professional institutions. Various employers can even collaborate with universities in creating training programmes for different specialities and at different levels of ability.

The U.K standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) provides details as to the training expectations which have to be met in order to achieve status as a qualified engineer. This is set-up by the Engineering Council UK (ECUK) and demonstrates the extent to which engineers must be qualified.
