CEng application

Hi, I had applied for CEng approximately 3 months back, after reviewing my application IET came back to me by rejecting the application station I have not met the requirements for CEng. However my IET PRA stated that my application fulfills all the requirements for CEng and adeptly showcase all the required UK competency before I submitted my application. In the rejection letter IET asked me to get in touch with another PRA different to the person who reviewed my application originally for feedback and improving my application for resubmission in the future. 

Has something similar happened to anyone else and is there any advice you can give to overcome it?  I have filled the application to the best of my ability, providing clear examples . However, the conflicting assessments have left me uncertain about the fairness of the evaluation process. Another concern is IET asking me to speak with another PRA for the feedback. Given the circumstances how will I know if the assessment/feedback given by the new PRA is correct and I could get rejected again.

    Hi Kevin, sorry to hear about your application being rejected. I did actually have a similar experience a couple of years ago where I was encouraged to apply by a PRA but my application was later rejected, which is of course very frustrating after investing a significant amount of one's own time and money into it. I believe the application process is quite rigorous, so from what you've said it sounds like the PRA shouldn't have advised you to apply in the first place. Unfortunately I doubt there's anything else you can do about it other than come back to it in 10 years or so - I did look into appealing it at the time but the answer is likely to be the same.
