Typical age 21

Technician members apply proven techniques and procedures to the solution of practical problems. The grade is open to all those with a qualification such as BTEC, National Certificate or Diploma in an acceptable subject, or an agreed group of SCOTVEC modules plus four years' training and experience in materials, minerals and mining.

Those working in an engineering environment (as opposed to a scientific environment) may be registered with the Engineering Council as an Engineering Technician and can then use the letters Eng Tech.
