Length of my CEng application is 14 pages

Guys I am in the process of applying for my CEng but my total application length is 14 pages which is above the total length. Its hard for me to reduce my application as it stands. This length includes everything including my training and CPDs. Is this going to be a problem?

  • 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:

    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? 

    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
