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.

    Not sure what you mean Alex Barrett. How do you think you were hard done by. The interviewers job is to assess the material and answers against criteria. Interviewers challenge and probe giving every opportunity for candidates to speak and give evidence. Quite often the response to a specific 'give me a specific example' gets either the example or waffle. Its not the interviewers fault in the candidate either does not have evidence or is underprepared.


    People often think they have to be stars at everything. Not true. There are 5 core criteria and candidates are usually strong in 1 or 2 and weak in at least 1..


    As for size. I don't see that. I have worked in very small to very large and many interviewers have. Its not about the size, its about what the candidate actually does and how creative, innovative and technical they are.
