IHT is holding its first professional review workshop at its London offices on 26 February 2008.  The workshop is designed to help CEng and IEng candidates who are putting together a professional review portfolio and preparing themselves for the professional review interview.  We plan to hold more workshops throughout the year at different venues around the UK. For further information contact Sadie Wilkinson (sadie.wilkinson@iht.org)

The Institution would like to hear from professionally qualified members (CEng, IEng or EngTech) who would be interested in becoming involved in its professional review activities as reviewers, assessors, or mentors.  Please contact Rebecca Sprunt for more information (rebecca.sprunt@iht.org)
