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.

    Jason,


    Please don't post a 17+ page application (I am talking abouot the section H: the meat of it).


    I am a PRA, Assessor and Interviewer, and if I get such a lengthy application, I just don't read it. For all but a very small minority of candidates a section on career history and personal achievements of 2-3 pages is more than enough, exceptionally perhaps 4. Part of the process is the candidate communicating and a 17+ page dissertation on every thing they have ever done is not communicating. Nor does it show you grasp the process.


    The appliocation is not everything you have every done, its appropriate evidence to demonstrate a particular competence.... when demonstrated .. its done.. move on


    This is my fundamental issue with CM - its all about filling boxes in of every discrete thing and then churining it out in one file. It is the candidates job to take the assessors on a journey from their birth (as a new grad) to where they are... so how have you developed, what have you learned, when did you start taking greater responsibility, what value do you bring, where have you been innovative ?


    Its not rocket science.
