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.

    Hi Jason,
    I received my Chartered status through the non-academic route with the IET a year ago so it’s all pretty fresh in my mind. 
    I submitted 6 pages of career history following a review by my local PRA who recommended it was condensed from the 12 pages I had originally tabled. The key was ensuring that the information was concise, to the point and clearly satisfied the requirements of the Engineering Councils requirements (if in doubt you could identify the requirement you believe you are satisfying) although saying that I received a request for additional evidence as one of my sections was considered weak.
    I used the presentation to further demonstrate my experience and welcomed questions during my presentation in order to make sure there was no ambiguity, this also meant that my presentation time was extended.
    My experience in the interview wasn’t quite what I was expecting as I had gone through the IEng process previously and watched the IET video. The interview board were very professional although I did feel like I was being cross examined a little which did make me feel slightly uncomfortable (I was a last minute cancellation appointment so I had little time to prepare).
    My advice to you is to make sure you prepare, give your presentation to a colleague or peer in good time before your interview, take on board any criticisms, be confident in what you have written in your application and what you are presenting.
    Best of Luck
