HOW IPRA/PRA is recorded / recognized

Ratnasabapathy Jananthan
IPRAs and PRAs are supporting candidates every time, there is place to enter PRA details in the application form.

Is IET keep record of IPRA/PRAs, who supported for how many candidate and when?


In my view, this is one of the record IET need to maintain and recognize PRAs around the world, usually once we support candidate and review, after that there is no communication in relation that application. We prefer to have that communicated

    This question has been raised before and the answer as far as I can determine is 'no'. The IET does not record or do any QA stats on PRA's. Part of the problem is that there is no mechanism for recording the level of involvements a PRA has or their advise (for very good reasons).


    I am of the opinion that there are some PRA's (keep seeing certain names), who only PRA and their advise appears to be rather less useful. I am of the belief that unless a PRA does occasional assessments or interviews they cannot really grasp what it is the EC are looking for to the same depth (controversial view I know).


    You should not crave recognition. This is about quietly giving back and supporting the next generation and whiles I would welcome a means (on say RPS) for a PRA to record their views, I am wary of undue influence on the process.


    In the end, we PRA's offer advise, perspective, a level of understanding of the requirements. I expect a professional Engineer to be able to listen, comprehend, ask questions, do their own research and make their own decisions. We are their to offer support and no spoon feed them.
