I have been asked to support an IEng candidate who has been unsuccessful for the second occasion at his PRI. I was his PRA for the second attempt at IEng and was surprised at the outcome. The decision reached by the interviewers did appear to be contentious and was questioned by at least one of the reviewers on the panel post-PRI.

He is thinking of appealing against the recent decision on the basis that he was led to believe that he could only present evidence of competencies in the time since his first PRI. The wording in the letter he received post his first PRI would appear to confirm this. My understanding is that a candidate can present evidence at the interview from his/her entire career history. Can anyone offer clarification on the above or provide general advice on the guidance I should provide to the candidate.


Thanks in advance


Andrew
