US candidate seeking IEng

Dan Goodheart

Afternoon All,

I have a US born candidate who did an apprenticeship with the US Air Force. They now work and live in the UK in the rail industry. They seek IEng. They don’t have exemplifying qualifications and I also can’t determine what educational level the apprenticeship and their other qualifications are at (Though I will explore this with them in due course). 
 

Does anyone have any advice or experiences with this type of candidate to aid me as I support them as their PRA? 
 

Thanks

Dan

    Hi Dan,

    My initial thought is that if they have gone through an apprenticeship then the likely level of the qualifications would be similar to HNC in this country. On this basis there will need to be further learning demonstrated to degree level, so I would suggest if the further learning can be demonstrated to that level it probably doesn't matter whether the qualifications are higher or lower than HNC.
