Roy Pemberton:


I suspect little has changed for current non- academic candidates, apart from the removal of the age qualification and of the requirement for a formal technical paper,  but in the vacuum left by not requiring a paper,  I'd love to know what the guidelines are for confirming k&u in non- academic candidates.  I don't believe it's valid to infer k&u simply from ascertaining that a candidate has completed an apprenticeship, in the same way that an accredited degree is accepted. But how else is it assessed?

Hi Roy,


Hot topic for me at the moment, for both 3rd and 4th editions (I'm currently working with a clutch of non-graduate CEng applicants). I'll let you know my thoughts in a day or two when I've had a chance to work through what I'm currently working through, but I'd be very interested in other people's experiences of 3rd edition and view of 4th edition on this - whether as applicant, assessor, or just interested party.


Thanks,


Andy


(P.S. apologies Roy, I think I deleted an off-topic, and ultimately redundant, post which you later reacted to! I didn't expect anyone to be that quick...I shall not do that again (must not say "must not do that again"...)  )
