Re-application of CEng after being rejected

KC Kelvin

Hi all. I was recently notified my CEng application was unsuccessful. I have some questions for the way-forward:

1. Instead of review with my PRA, any other chance to obtain the feedback, especially the comments from interviewers to evaluate which areas I was unsatisfied? I understand PRA is volunteer work, but my PRA for my first application was not so responsive. Can I seek help from another PRA for my second attempt?

2. I feel like I was under-perform during the PRI due to personal issue but not the issue on my application form. I have heard the application will be rejected if the second submission is submitted too close with the release of first application result. Is it true? I am quite confident to perform again so I would like to apply CEng asap.

I am quite panic, lost and do not know what to do. Highly appreciated if everyone can provide guidance to me to achieve my goal as a CEng. Thanks!

    you can make a new application when ever you wish. There is no minimum cooling off period.  you can also request a new PRA, perhaps one closer to your industry  You can contact staff to find you a better match or use the on line PRA search function to find one. Nothing to stop you checking any PRAs against LinkedIn. 

    You can also request a copy of your file including all the comments etc. Send an email t0 compliance@theiet.org and this can be a significant learning exercise. 

    Lastly you can make an appeal against the ffindings.Your personal issues you mention may be valid grounds but working with a PRA to sort these is recommended. I understand you have 3 months to appeal. 

    hope this helps.

    Just to add to Gerard's excellent post, if you do re-submit in a short space of time you will need to be clear what information you are adding that wasn't considered in the previous application. So, as Gerard says, find out why you were rejected, and then you basically have two options:

    1. re-submit when a new work opportunity (a promotion, or just a new role) has allowed you to demonstrate the competences that raised a concern, or
    2. re-submit with a very clear statement, ideally against your present role, of additional information that you want to present that was not in your original application.

    It's certainly correct that 1 is the more common approach and 2 is riskier (more likely to be rejected), but it's all down to how clearly you can present the additional information. 

    Good luck,

    Andy
