Engineering Technologists Mobility Forum

Similar to the EMF, the Engineering Technologists Mobility Forum
(ETMF) was established to remove “artificial barriers to the free move-
ment and practice of certified/registered/licensed engineering technolo-
gists amongst their jurisdictions.” The agreement specifically covers the
process by which substantial equivalence in competence of practitioners
is established. Signatories of ETMF include Canada, Ireland, New
Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom (IPENZ, 2004).
