CEng Application Process - Feedback / Discussion

So I have now gone through my CEng application process with the IET and had my professional review interview. I am now awaiting my result. I intended to provide some feedabck and questions for discussion regarding the process and my experience of it. This is in the hope of providing some 'positive critical' feedback for both the IET and members who are looking at professional registration. This post is a place holder for that and I will write after I have received my result.


The reason for the place holder is that I don't want any feedback to be construed as sour grapes as is often assumed when somebody provides feedback on this forum. As mentioned, it will be intended as positive critical feedback to help try and improve the process.


I would ask all contributions to this thread to be positive critical and ask people not to hijack it to vent their own displeasure. Try to balance it more to the positive side of things. Otherwise the discussion will be quickly locked by the moderators if it gets out of hand. Thanks.


  • I can confirm that I had no 'trick' questions or tricky questions. At least I didn't think there were any :-)


    The questions will be very much geared and tailored to your specific application and to you. As others have mentioned previously, each application / applicant is unique. The aim is to try and ensure that you are able to give examples of how you demostrate the competencies and experience in the UK-SPEC. Hopefully, much of it will have been covered adequately in your written application anyway so the interview is to just confirm everything and an opportunity to re-inforce particular compentencies.


  • Congrats Jason (from the "other" place)


    In case you are not aware, RC got his CEng too :-)
  • Thanks Andrew. Hope you and everyone at the "other" place is doing well.

    Great that RC also got his CEng. RC is a mechanical engineer and got registered with the IMechE I believe. If only the other EE's there would look at getting registered too.

    You are right about RC... and (as you may guess) I'm trying to encourage the EEs and Software peeps (and me too!)
