    The "Mature" route... I wonder how many get it that way...

    Then again, I couldn't be arsed to apply before they changed the SATOR rules & I'm certainly not going to bother now.

    But then again it was the policy of the Technical Director of the company I worked for to ensure that all the software team were chartered.

    There you go, 20+ years of software development does/did count for something.

    Next.

      CEng is not dependant on holding a degree of any type.
      CMath is, regrettably.

      Ho hum.

          Oi! I'm a CMath but one of the smartest mathematicians I know doesn't have a mathematics degree and can't get in.

            I couldn't be bothered with the chartered route either.

            Too much hassle and no real benefit.

              Bollocks. If you're that smart then getting a degree should be a piece of piss.

                It was KPI that counted towards our bonus, therefore even though I'm not a CMath, I reckoned it was worth it.

                      Still takes time though. Time you don't have if you've got work/family commitments.
