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!

    One problem here is that UKSpec is based on competence not “time served”. So it is not possible to put a firm timeline before reapplying, just guidance as what might be a reasonable time to gain the additional competence, and that will be very individual.

    You mention a personal issue that affected your performance at the interview. This is one of the grounds for an appeal, but you would be well advised to consult with a PRA before you do (and as others have said, not necessarily your original PRA but one suited to your new circumstance).

    As to time to process an application, the assessors at each stage are volunteers, who give up their spare time to do this work. Matching the skill/experience of the volunteers to the applicant is not always quick as there are a limited number to choose from and then their work/family commitments might intervene. We all try to complete assessments promptly but that is not always possible and delays are sometimes unavoidable.
