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.

    Thanks for the replies so far. Really glad I posted this now.


    Graham - The career history section isn't 17 pages long. The 17 pages includes a blank page and some final pages with a lot of white space (generated out of Career Manager). Still it is longer than 12 pages total as recommended in the career manager note. Given that you are an assessor I will give extra weight to your comments about refusing to read lengthy application forms and make extra efforts to reduce the length of my career history before submitting. You may well end up being one of my assessors and I don't want to waste £200 or so of my money smiley


    My initial version (11 pages total) was reviewed by a PRA and I was told that I needed to include more detail. As an example, I had listed development testing as one of my usual project tasks. It was suggested that I expand on that and detail what that entails. I guess I went overboard after that comment. I selected a project from each employment and went in to a lot of detail about each step of the process - a short journal of the project almost. I will have to do another re-write and shorten it as much as possible while preserving enough detail to demonstrate the UK-SPEC competencies.


    Geoffrey - May I ask how long your final application form was after the re-write?
