We can only assume so. Only a complete mug would pay for that any time before their last year in the RAF.

Or you could do it earlier and reap the benefits of joining an organisation, utilising it's resources and networking. But then, you'd have to be complete mug to be prepared.......
Downsizer, I did TMT2 in 2008 and it was on offer then. They also help you with applications if you did TMT ages ago.

Yes I joined the IIE (as was) a long time before I decided to leave the RAF. I saw it as showing a commitment to my profession and my professional development; and a recognition of my professional competence.
Has it got me a job? Well the jury is out on that, but anything that can give you an edge and get your CV read instead of the next guys has to be worth something. Also, many of the more senior engineers jobs I know see advertised required IEng/CEng or working towards; so don't poo poo it out of hand. This was actually a 'preferred' part of the job I know currently do, and the fact I was working towards IEng could have only helped.
Is it the be all and end all? No of course not, just like having a degree does not automatically get you a fantastic job.
Finally, many of the larger civilian companies will pay your professional fees every year; good job really because I think the IET is currently costing me £150 per annum.

Thanks for that link. I think it will be the IET for me then. £80 TMIET membership and free to register as an EngTech through their Forces scheme. Just need to grab my FS as a reference i reckon.

I just went through it really easy to do. Just fill one form out send it to the trade sponsor, he signs off on it. Takes a couple of months to come through. I don't think it even cost me anything(yet).
