Entry requirements
Typically, you will be a practicing engineer, employed in a related area of the industry and seeking registration from the IMarEST at Chartered Engineer (CEng) or Chartered Marine Engineer (CMarEng) level.

This programme is designed to augment you professional skills.

Entry routes are flexible, and could be made up of formal academic qualifications, experience or a combination of the two. Membership of professional bodies such as IMarEST will count favourably.
