Professional Qualifications for Corporate Membership

Exemption from Professional Assessment

(Candidates must read this leaflet in conjunction with M3 Routes to Membership)

The following Institutions have Reciprocal Recognition Agreements (RRAs) with the HKIE. Corporate

Members of these Institutions may be admitted to the HKIE in a corresponding discipline, without a

Professional Assessment, providing they have undergone a Professional Assessment/Review

1

which includes

an interview by the parent Institution. These Agreements only apply to those Members of the HKIE and

Members of these Institutions who have been admitted via normal procedures and do not apply to Members of

these Institutions who joined via their own RRAs. The RRAs do not apply to Mature Route Candidates except

in the case of The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). All applications will be subject to verification by the

parent Institution, endorsement by the HKIE Qualifications and Membership Board and final approval of the

Council.

The eligibility for holders of the professional qualifications from the Institutions below to a particular

discipline shall be assessed and allocated by the HKIE. Under the RRAs, the HKIE retains full discretion as to

the admission of any candidate to Corporate Membership. The HKIE also retains the right to require whatever

additional assessment deemed necessary in individual cases, or even not to accept an application. In the

circumstances that a discipline matching interview is required, the applicant may be asked questions related to

his/her competences. Only two Corporate Member supporters, in the same discipline as the applicant, are

required when completing the Corporate Membership application form (Form 1/M

D

).
