Transfer
If you are a Member, Associate Member or Technician Member of the Institution you may apply to transfer to the class of Fellow when you consider that you are or have been engaged in a position of significant responsibility in the civil engineering profession.

Direct Admission
If you are not a Member of the Institution but consider that you are engaged in a position of significant responsibility in the civil engineering profession, you may apply for direct admission to the class of Fellow.
