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.

  • I would expect interviewers to raise any concerns they may have during the interview so they can be addressed by the candidate, rather than saving them for the post interview review, but this hasn't been my experience. Maybe I was just unlucky. I believe they are also largely drawn from corporate industry and have trouble appreciating how small and microbusinesses work. The IET considers an "SME" to be less than 250 employees, whereas I'd consider any business with over say 25 to be quite a large enterprise. The mindsets within these small businesses is quite different to those of a large enterprise.
