NETR Areas
The National Engineering Technologists Register does not currently contain individual areas of practice. However, the National Engineering Registration Board has proposed that registration should be more closely aligned to the observable functions that are carried out competently in the workplace. The integrity of the registration system demands that applicants should be assessed against objective competency standards in a way that is both visible and defensible. A proposal to move towards a unified registration system is fully explained in the discussion paper titled
Towards a Unified Registration System 
.
NETR has been integrated into the web search facility rpsearch.
It should be noted that NETR requires significantly greater support from Technologists before it will command the attention of government regulators. Engineering Technologists are invited to contact the Registrar to advise of any known need for registration of engineering technologists or of areas in which you practise where registration might deliver greater community protection.
