Applying for Ieng or EngTech with HND, and from abroad!

Former Community Member

Afternoon all,


I appreciate this will contain more than one question, so i appreciate if any of them can be adressed.


I am unsure if i should apply for either Ieng or EngTech - i've looked up the achademic requirements for Ieng and the Engineering Council's websites states they only accept HNC/HND's that were completed before September 1999 - i graduated in 2008. However, if my understanding is correct, Ieng is still obtainable even without necessarily meeting the achademic requirements alone, depending upon work experience.


With my HND, ive worked for about 5 years in electrical design, and before that as a manager of a calibration lab - would anyone whos got similar experience or been in a similar position be able to adivse which of the two is most applicable to me?


And if Ieng is the correct option - has anyone done the interview process over Skype as i live abroad (Gibraltar), i can see how an interview is done over a webcam, but not sure how you'd do a power point presentation via Skype.


I greatly appreciate any infomation or advice anyone can give!


Thanks,


Lee.

    Lee,

    PowerPoint is not obligatory. If you still want to have slides, I would recommend no more than about five, and these can be emailed in advance and printed off for the interviewers so that given clear numbering you can say "and going on to slide 3" or similar. Just don't get hung up about needing to appear a PowerPoint expert. Some of the best presentations I have seen (admittedly not for PR Interviews) have not needed it. It is what you say that is important, not how well you can put a slide together.
