ICE membership has helped me to build up a network of engineering contacts, and as an ICE QUEST scholar, I’ve gained really useful work experience through summer placements.

Qualifying as a technician member made me very proud and has opened new doors. It has helped me progress to an engineer role, which means I have more responsibilities and manage projects.

CEng MICE definitely gives me a competitive edge as it is internationally recognised. It is a great honour, and is a qualification that is greatly valued and respected wherever I go.
