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

    Some assessors really do hate this, but remember there are always 3 assessors on a panel.


    Personally I'm fairly neutral, it can be useful especially if your application is long, but I regularly see competencies misidentified. This doesn't help but should not harm an application.


    What I see very occasionally is an application that is directly referenced against the competencies, rather than an actual career history. This I would strongly advise against.


    If I was applying now, I would certainly self-annotate as I wrote the career history to esnure I covered the bases and on balance I think I'd leave them in - they should never prejudice a panel even if misidentified and can help. At worst, as JW said, they get ignored.


    BTW, they principal way to lose sympathy with an assessment panel is not to use a PRA. Assuming you are using a PRA, then between the 2 of you there should be no misidentifying.
