In January 2026, the Institution will be reintroducing a question into the Chartered Membership Exam aimed at engineers who work predominantly on energy related structures for the renewables, oil and gas and nuclear industries, including offshore structures.
This new guidance appendix has been produced by the Examinations Panel and must be read in conjunction with the main Chartered Membership Exam Preparation Guidance. The information contained in this appendix is not a complete guide and focuses specifically on the additional requirements and considerations for those attempting this category of question.
The question will only feature in the January 2026 paper and not in July. Future inclusion of the question will remain under review by the Examinations Panel.
