CEng Application Length

In the context of a CEng application, from the guidance notes on page 2, it states "The requirement is not to exceed a total of 12 pages for the whole application when printed."


When I went to the review section, the accountability diagram, copies of my certificates and other 'supporting document' evidence such as 'Assessment Summary' were not present in the application pdf when I clicked 'Download Application'. Are these items considered separate? I would have thought 'full application' included those documents too. I see a total of 5 pages in the downloaded document that seems to cover everything else (employment history etc).


Is the 12 page figure the number of pages that should be present when I click the 'Download Application' in the review section, or does it also include certificates, accountability diagram etc? Are the supporting documents sent separately?


Sorry if it's been asked before, but it also says "You should aim to provide roughly 3000 characters as it is unlikely that less will adequately demonstrate your relevant experience."


For most past employment entries I have 3000 or thereabouts. However for my current and primary role which demonstrates the most, I have currently 7000 which is over double the amount requested. Is this excessive to the extent that it would be marked down?

    Hi Guys


    To echo what Roy has just said, I always recommend that bullet points are not used - it looks like a job description, not identifying the candidates competences. As for the text, good English dictates that the use of Paragraphs and Sentences, if used properly they make the script much easier to read and understand - each paragraph a separate subject and each sentence a sub-subject - and don't forget the old comma and other grammatical bits to make sense of what's being written. A blank line space between each paragraph just makes it look good.
