Associate Membership o the Institution o CivilEngineers (AMICE) can be awarded to a wide rangeo people who are engaged in a proession thatdirectly supports or is closely allied with the work ocivil engineers operating in the built environment. Forull details o the grades o membership available,see ICE 3000A. Registration with The Society o the

Environment (SocEnv) as a Chartered Environmentalist(CEnv) is possible at this grade o membership.However, registration with the UKs EngineerRegulating Authority, the Engineering Council, is not.

The stages in qualiying at any grade are:

the achievement o the required educational base

a period o responsible work experience underearly guidance and decreasing supervision,known as Initial Proessional Development (IPD)while ollowing the systematic maintenance,

improvement and broadening o knowledge,skills and competence known as ContinuingProessional Development (CPD). I you are seekingCEnv registration, Environmental ProessionalDevelopment (EPD) as described in section 2 oICE 3008A, also needs to be undertaken

success at a Proessional Review.

The diagram below shows the principal routes orIPD and EPD. The Institution strongly recommendsthat you enter into a ormal Training Agreement withone o the Institutions Approved Employers. Yourdevelopment and training will then be structuredand you will have the benet o guidance rom amentor called a Supervising Civil Engineer (SCE)1

appointed by your employer. For a list o ApprovedEmployers, see ICEs website.

I you have completed a bespoke in house trainingand development programme, subject to ICEsapproval, you may use this to show completion inlieu o all or part o the Objectives. Your SCE will stillhave to certiy completion o your Objectives andyour overall IPD/EPD.

I you have completed a Scottish/NationalVocational Qualication (S/NVQ) in an ICE approvedoccupation, this will provide substantial evidenceor achievement o the DOs and i seeking CEnv,or the EDOs. However, you will still need to certiycompletion o any DO/EDO not explicitly coveredby the S/NVQ. Details o ICEs approved S/NVQs,including their coverage o the Objectives and othe certication required, are given in Membership

Guidance Notes.

I it is not possible or you to enter into or tocomplete an Agreement, you must applyto ICE or a Career Appraisal in order to haveyour IPD and CPD, and i seeking CEnv your EPD,authenticated.For inormation on Career Appraisal see relevant

Membership Guidance Notes.
