CEng Application - Anybody with RECENT experience of the whole process?

Jason Wong
I am hoping to be in a position to submit an application for CEng relatively soon (after many years of pondering about registering). I need to do a bit of further work on my application content following advice from a PRA and one of my friends who got registered as CEng within the last few years. Then I just need my supporters to review and support my application (this may take time depending on how busy they are).


While I do more work on my application and wait for supporters to do their parts... Are there any recently registered CEng people who don't mind sharing the experience of the whole process through the IET? Any tips and advice on any aspects of the process? From submitting the application form through to the interview and presentation.


Would also be interesting to hear from anybody who has had any problems with the process? What would you do differently (or the IET could do differently to help improve things)?


Thanks,


Jason.

    One question I have about the application... Length... There is a note within career manager that says the printed application should not be more than 12 pages. If it is then the application could be returned to you.


    At the moment I am trying to condense my career history section down by removing bits and detail that may not help me in showing that I meet a specific competency. I am fairly late in my career in applying for CEng (I graduated from my undergraduate degree in 2001). Therefore, I have been through a few jobs as a professional engineer between then and now.


    I am not over the 12 page limit by a silly amount. Total printed pages is 17 pages and the career history section finishes on page 13. The remaining pages are listing my training, PRA comments, declaration, and other admin items.


    How strict are the IET on this page limit?


    I understand that some people may send in applications that are way over the top. However, if the application length does not go in to hundreds of pages would it not be reasonable for the IET assessors to read the application? Especially considering that each applicant will have paid more than £200 to submit the application.
