SRS allows graduate engineers, sandwich placement students, Engineering Technicians and any of our members – who are not with an organisation accredited for the Monitored Professional Development Scheme (MPDS) – to record their Initial Professional Development.
SRS provides a disciplined and regular reporting framework to record your activities as you work towards professional registration.
You will be able to benchmark your progress – with the help of your mentor – against the Engineering Council's UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) to determine when you are ready to apply for Chartered or Incorporated Engineer registration.

Mentors on SRS are not necessarily professionally registered, but they do need to have a thorough understanding of the Engineering Council UK-SPEC competences. Anyone who meets these requirements and is willing to do so can be your mentor.
You can find a mentor in your workplace, socially or through networking at our events or regional activities.
