Annotations referencing Competence Framework labels.

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi,


I'm putting together my employment history for my CEng application, and I'm trying to ensure that everything present on the application relates directly to the competency framework (A12, B123, C1234, D123, E12345), is it appropriate to annotate each paragraph/statement with a [reference] of the competency I am trying to demonstrate?


For example, to mark that a statement is intended to demonstrate competency E3:

"...worked on code implementing regulations xyz [E3]"


On the one hand, this is useful for me to track where in the document I have demonstrated a competency, or as a reminder of why I mentioned that, and probably useful for my mentor/reviewer when we're going through it.


Would this also be useful or acceptable to leave in the final application for the assessor? or would this be seen as inappropriate (trying to pre-empty their judgement on the applicability of the information i'm providing).


Kind regards


Dan Burrell

    Hi Dan,


    Putting annotations of the competences is a useful exercise so that at the end you can look through and check that each competence is included somewhere. It is also useful for your mentor or a PRA as you suggest, both to help them in reviewing but also so that they can check your own understanding of the competences.


    With regard to leaving them in for the assessors, some assessors like it as it shows that the candidate is giving thought to the application while other assessors hate it as they look on it as the candidate trying to pre-empt/influence the assessment while they prefer to make their own judgement. The IET did a survey and the split was approximately 50/50, but from previous discussions I would suggest that the assessors who hate it do really hate it, so it is probably better to delete the annotations just prior to submission.


    Best wishes for your application,
