Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) approves IChemE training for mandatory CPD hours

IChemE is delighted to announce that the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) has approved several of its training courses for continuing professional development (CPD) hours.

Professionally registered engineers in Malaysia are required to fulfil CPD requirements to maintain their registration with BEM. The Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) has been appointed by BEM as the certified body to implement CPD programs in accordance with BEM’s policies and guidelines, this follows the signing of a partnership agreement with the IEM in 2023.

The approval signifies the following IChemE training courses are recognised by BEM for fulfilling the mandatory CPD requirements for registered engineers in Malaysia:

• Advanced Process Safety Considerations for Hydrogen Projects
• Chemical Engineering for Scientists and Other Engineers
• Fundamentals of Process Safety
• HAZOP Leadership and Management
• HAZOP Study for Team Leaders and Team Members
• Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA)
• Scale Up of Chemical Processes
• What Engineers Need to Know About Hydrogen Safety

IChemE Malaysia Country Manager Tharshinye Soomaran says: “This recognition by BEM marks an important milestone in IChemE’s efforts to support the professional growth of engineers in Malaysia. We are committed to delivering high-quality training that not only aligns with local professional standards but also bridges global best practices, giving engineers in Malaysia access to the best of both worlds.”

IChemE course content undergoes regular peer review to ensure it continues to reflect current thinking and good practice. All courses are offered face-to-face and online with IChemE members benefitting from reduced registration fees. All courses can also be delivered as in-company training where content can be customised to meet specific requirements.

Further information about these courses and South-East Asia delivery dates/times can be found here.

What is chemical engineering?

Chemical, biochemical and process engineering is the application of science, mathematics and economics in the process of turning raw materials into everyday, and more specialist, products. Professional chemical engineers design, construct and manage process operations all over the world. Energy, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, synthetic fibres and clean drinking water are just some of the industry sectors and products where chemical engineering plays a central role.
