The Institute is celebrating the IOR EngTech Section's 25th anniversary and is marking the occasion with a special offer designed to support the career progression of section subscribers. Starting 1st April and continuing throughout 2026, current EngTech Section subscribers will be able to upgrade to full IOR Technician Member status at no additional cost. Becoming an IOR Technician Member opens the door to additional benefits, such as recognition of their status in the industry with IOR initials after their name (TMInstR) and the potential to register as an Engineering Council Engineering Technician. It is available to those with experience and a suitable qualification.
We have also identified all of the individuals who have been subscribers since the very beginning of the section and will be sending them a commemorative certificate to recognise their commitment to their learning and professional development.
How to take advantage of the offer
Members ready to make the switch need to contact us at ior@ior.org.uk and provide a copy of their F-Gas certificate, and our membership department will do the rest. This offer will be available to existing members of the IOR EngTech Section until 31 December 2026.
The Section was started by the Institute in 2001 to recognise the importance of the hands-on technician and engineer to our industry and to share good practice within the sector. Since then, it has issued over 400 bulletins and guides, as well as over 1000 CPD Certificates to subscribers and given out 25 Lifetime Achievement Awards.
