Approval: EngTech training programmes
Through its programme of EngTech approval, IChemE aims to recognise and share good practice in the education and development of those with both a theoretical and practical understanding of chemical engineering principals, skills and techniques.
Approved training programmes, apprenticeships and qualifications will provide trainees and graduates with a pathway to registration as an Engineering Technician (EngTech) with Engineering Council.
