Chamber of Engineers - Registration Voluntary membership
Service Description
As a public corporation, the Thuringia Chamber of Engineers has the central task of safeguarding the professional interests of engineers and the reputation of the profession, as well as monitoring the fulfillment of professional obligations.
The structure of chamber membership at the Thuringia Chamber of Engineers includes compulsory members and voluntary members. The Chamber of Engineers keeps a list of chamber members, which also includes the list of voluntary members.
In contrast to the mandatory professional practice or professional experience required for compulsory members, this is not a requirement for voluntary membership of the Thuringia Chamber of Engineers.
The aim of this is to give newcomers to the profession who are entitled to use the protected professional title of "engineer" on the basis of completed professional qualifications and who do not yet have sufficient professional experience the opportunity to join the Thuringia Chamber of Engineers as a voluntary member. As a voluntary member, you have access to in-service training opportunities and synergies arising from the community of chamber members.
Registration as a voluntary member of the Thuringia Chamber of Engineers also documents that the applicant has the professional qualifications required by law and the associated authorization to use the protected professional title of "engineer".
Process flow
Once the application has been submitted, the Thuringia Chamber of Engineers will confirm receipt of the application, including the evidence submitted, to the applicant within one month and, if applicable, inform the applicant which evidence is still missing.
A decision on the application will be made within three months of receipt of the complete supporting documents at the latest, although this period may be extended by a further month.
The registration committee of the Thuringia Chamber of Engineers will issue a decision after examining whether the legal requirements have been met. This constitutes an administrative act.
The documents submitted with the application remain with the Thuringia Chamber of Engineers and are archived there.
