At the ceremony, representatives of AFEO, VUSTA, and the leaders of Da Nang City granted ASEAN Engineer Certificates to outstanding engineers who are from technical and technology enterprises. The 2025 Ceremony for ASEAN Engineers marked an important milestone, reflecting the regional recognition of the competence and reputation of Vietnamese and ASEAN engineers. The ASEAN engineer registration opens up significant opportunities for Vietnamese engineers to practice across ASEAN countries, thereby promoting the mobility of high-quality workers within the region.

With the ACPE certificate, engineers will gain greater opportunities to practice their profession in ASEAN member countries.
ASEAN engineer registration is an important step towards promoting the mutual recognition of engineering professional competence among ASEAN members. With the AER certificate, engineers are entitled to practice in ASEAN countries, with the conditions to comply with the host country’s laws and regulations. This not only affirms the professional capacity of each individual engineer but also enhances the international standing of Vietnamese engineers. This helps promote the integration of high-quality human resources while supporting domestic enterprises and technical organizations in expanding their operations across the region.
According to assessments by technical experts in the region, Vietnamese engineers are increasingly meeting ASEAN standards in terms of academic qualifications, experience, and technical communication skills in international environments. The increased number of Vietnamese engineers registered as AER engineer reflects the robust development of Vietnam’s engineering sector, particularly in the context of deepening industrialization, modernization, and digital transformation.
