We have a table of RAF career break points and our membership requirements to help you decide which level of professional registration is right for you. Download a Royal Air Force application form. You won’t be required to write a detailed report, attach proof of attended courses or create a Development Action Plan. IEng and CEng applicants must have a Professional Review Interview with our panel of peers to discuss your achievements. They will then make a recommendation towards professional registration as an IEng or a CEng. Military Personnel Professional Review Interview Guidance You'll need to send your application to the applicable SO2 Engineer Branch or Engineering Trades Sponsor at:
HQ Air, Gauntlet Block RAF High Wycombe Walters Ash Bucks HP14 4UE
If you're already registered as a CEng, IEng or EngTech and a member of the Institution (MIMechE) and you’re a Wing Commander (or above), you can upgrade using a simplified process. Just fill out a Member to Fellow upgrade application form. If you are below the rank of Wing Commander, but believe you meet the Fellowship criteria, please apply via the traditional route.
If you’re a CEng, IEng or EngTech registered with the Engineering Council through one of their approved institutions, you can apply through our Armed Forces Existing Registrant process. Download the Armed Forces Existing Registrant Application Form.
