In Section 1 (i) subsections (a) and (b) and subsection (3) of Section (4) of COREN enabling decree,
Council is empowered to determine who are engineering personnel and to register them in their
respective registers.
Council has been able to regulate, as contained in its publication CP3, that a person desiring to become
a registered Engineering Personnel must, after obtaining the approved/accredited required
academic qualification, must have four (4) years post-graduate experience which must be under
the supervision of a senior registered Engineer, Technologist or a Technician.
Council believes that the continuing effectiveness of an engineering personnel depends on his contact
with a recognized professional society and therefore advises engineering personnel to belong to
a recognized professional society.
It must be emphasized that membership of a society does not by itself grant an automatic right to
registration. Council still needs to satisfy itself that the academic qualification is registrable for
the category applied for.
● A Registered Engineering Technician shall use the abbreviation “Tech” after his name.
