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

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.

    Absolutely agree. We choose who we place in positions of power over us. However, in the context of a career, how others - particularly superiors - perceive/respect/control us can be significant. Pressure to conform/submit can be a significant factor. In these respects, I learned that CEng is consistent with any other career milestone. For us as individuals, the value of CEng, or IET membership, is only what we choose to give it.


    Jason,

    My final submitted section J was just over 2.5 pages. This was after 15 years of full-time work experience, post graduation. Personally, I am wary of too much focus on length. I would focus primarily on establishing whether you have included sufficient evidence of competence to a sufficient level as per UKSPEC. If that's not clear to you, seek advice.
