So what does it mean
when you get all those letters
after your name?
The long answer
Engineering is a profession. People respect
you and companies reward you for what you
can do. Having a professional qualification
tells your fellow engineers and every
employer you work for that you have
achieved the professional standard.
Sometimes the qualification will open doors
for you, sometimes, if you don’t have it, those
doors will remain shut in your face. Your
professional qualification will do a lot for you
over many years.
Here’s the short answer
Without

With
