Lately, we have had many queries within our profession regarding the differentiation between an Engineering Technician, Incorporated Engineer and Professional Engineer. A short comparison in this regard has been drafted to give an overview of what the communalities and the differences of these three categories are.

• The actual educational programme and the practical training have been subject to rigid standards control.
