Membership Streamlining FAQs

Membership Streamlining FAQs

We have compiled a list of some common questions that you may have.

IPD online

All members who start a new ICE training agreement will work towards 7 attributes in IPD Online. This has been in place since the launch of the new ICE membership management platform.

Trainees who have started in this system, will work within it until a full completion of their Training Agreement or Mentor Supported Training.

This document shows how the attributes are displayed in IPD online against the 9 attribute headings. Trainees who have started in this system, will work within it until a full completion of their Training Agreement or Mentor Supported Training.

As an existing trainee using the 9 attribute IPD Online you will continue to record your experience under the 9 attribute headings once you have started, through to full completion of your training agreement.

On 1 October 2021 changes were made to the old system and, despite the structure of IPD Online staying with 9 attribute headings, the statements supporting the attributes have been updated to reflect the wording in the attribute statements required for Professional Review at IEng and CEng. You will not be disadvantaged in any way.

There is no need for you to change what you have already uploaded.

You will remain in your current IPD Online system until you achieve a full training agreement completion, with the reassurance that the updated wording will reflect the current Professional Review requirements.

What happens if:

Your new TA / MST will be against the 7 attributes. You will need to achieve the CEng ability level only (Ac) – there is no need to input evidence for the K, E and Ai levels. You will have access to your previous evidence against the “old” 9 attribute system.

Your new TA/MST will be against the 7 attributes. You will need to achieve the CEng ability level only (Ac) – there is no need to input evidence for the K, E and Ai levels. You will have access to your previous evidence against the “old” 9 attribute system within your IPD Online account.

After your full TA/MST completion against the 9 attribute system at IEng, your new TA / MST will be against the 7 attributes.

You will need to achieve the CEng ability level only (Ac) – there is no need to input evidence for the K, E and Ai levels. You will have access to your previous evidence against the “old” 9 attribute system.

This element of the new IPD Online is currently undergoing further development and is currently unavailable - please contact [email protected] to seek further advice as to how to progress.

In this case you will still see 9 areas and 9 attribute headings in IPD Online, and you will continue to add evidence to demonstrate the updated wording.

Professional Review

No. All you do need to do is to make sure that you understand the current requirements of the Professional Review, and that your experience meets the attributes for this review. However, it’s always good to speak with your local ICE Membership team who can offer specific guidance and support.

No, you do not need to submit any additional evidence as part of your training agreement/mentor supported training if you have completed it against the “old” attributes. You will need to reference the UNSDGs in the Sustainable Development part of your Professional Review report, when you apply for your Professional Review.

SCEs, DEs and mentors

Yes, you will access all your trainees from the same place.
