That may help younger engineers, as they have ‘time’ to make the ajustments necessary to meet the requirements for CEng, but I don't see how it helps matured experienced engineers who are in the ‘over 50s’ age group? There should be a category for senior engineers to have the opportunity to achieve CEng registration. I am also perplexed why the EC is only interested in an applicant's experience ‘in the past 5 years’ and not earlier? What if an applicant were previously employed as a ‘fishmonger’, or responsible for recommending ‘the wrong cladding’  to blocks of flats, or were guests at ‘Her Majesty’s pleasure'. I am really surprised that not a single CEng has raised this flag?
