May I ask how long your actual career history is?  This should be in the region of 5-7 pages long. The rest can be supporting material.  A long application with a career history of 14 pagers runs a real risk of being returned to you as being too long. Its not reasonable to ask assessors to read though a 14 page career history.

Thanks for responding. So my career is 11 years so far. The actual employment history was 8 pages long and my CPD took almost two pages.

Also  I made a mistake clicking the verification option and now I can't edit anymore. Its in read-only. Do you know if this is something they can release for me to edit and make changes?

Hi,

You need to get that down to 5 pages, you've probably gone into too much technical detail or included too many projects. It doesn't matter how long your career is, enough information for CEng can always be given in 5 pages! All you are trying to show is one example of each of the competences. Part of competence D is checking that you can write briefly and precisely, which is partly why you will be marked down for an overlong application.

I'd suggest contacting a PRA, they'll be able to tell you which bits you've given too much detail on:

That I can't help with - I suggest you contact rssu@theiet.org hopefully they should be able to.

Thanks,

Thank you for your feedback. I managed to get the total to 9 pages and employment history to 6 pages. Appreciate your comments
