Associate grade

Associate grade membership is for those people who meet the academic criteria for Member grade and are working towards gaining the necessary experience required to meet the full Member grade criteria. This makes Associate grade ideal for new graduates of fire-related degrees. 

You can also check whether your degree is accredited by the Engineering Council and if so apply with us to become Interim Registered as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). 

Applicants who are not in a fire engineering role but who facilitate fire engineers or fire engineering and hold a Level 4 or higher qualification in their specialist area may apply for Associate grade. They must ensure that their application demonstrates their association to fire engineering.

Please note: If you are looking to become Interim registered as an Incorporated or Chartered Engineer, please apply for this rather than applying for Associate alone. A successful Interim application will attain Associate membership automatically so an Associate application does not need to be made.
