EU nationals who are legally established to practise in another EU Member State, may be eligible to apply to ICE via the European Directive route.
The profession of civil engineer is not regulated in the UK, and so it is not necessary to be registered with ICE in order to practise as a civil engineer in the UK. However, the protected titles of EngTech TMICE, IEng MICE and CEng MICE are regulated for the purposes of the Directive.
Please consult Membership Guidance Note 28 for further details on making an application via this route and to check your eligibility. If you have any queries about your eligibility for this route please send your enquiry with a copy of your CV to erp@ice.org.uk.
Applications are considered by the ICE´s Exemption and Recognition Panel. An application can be submitted to the ICE at any time by completing the European Directive Application Form ICE 3136 for CEng MICE or IEng MICE, or European Directive Application Form ICE 3136a for EngTech TMICE.
Assessments are completed on a case by case basis, and you will receive a decision on your application within 4 months of confirmation of receipt of the necessary documentation.
Guidance on completing your application is available from ICE's network of Membership Development Officers (MDOs) in the UK. You can find the MDO for your Region by visiting the About ICE section of the website. If you are applying from outside the UK, please contact erp@ice.org.uk for guidance.
