IEng Registration - Professional Registration Assessment and Career Profile

P Trim
Hi all. I am part way through my application for IEng registration. In Sept 2019 I attended a professional registration workshop and had a chat with a PRA to discuss my application. He was highly informative and gave me a great insight into my application and the professional registration process. He suggested that I should consider CEng and explained his reasoning, but I am a little apprehensive. Currently I am still working toward IEng application.


My question is relating to the Professional Registration Assessment and also the Career Profile. I had produced a 2400-word career profile prior to meeting the PRA along with all my other supporting documentation. He advised that I should transfer that into my career manager portal but I am finding that I will be duplicating a large portion of my content within my career profile alongside the evidence that is required within the PR Assessment lists against UK-Spec. 


Can anyone advise does this sound correct and am I understanding the requirements for the career profile correctly?


Thank you. Paul.

    Paul,

    Good advice from Jim, but he doesn't seem to have mentioned the career profile.

    Not having sight of your career profile, it is difficult to give a definitive answer. If this is what you have produced as your evidence of meeting the UK Spec competences, then I think it needs to be transferred into an application, whether a paper application form (Word document) or an electronic form via Career Manager. These are the only two formats that will be accepted by the IET (for sensible reasons as consistency makes it easier for those assessing the applications, who are all volunteers). There are advantages to using Career Manager but many feel uncomfortable with the purely on-line systems so while I would recommend it, it is your decision which way to go.

    If your question is related to the entries in Career Manager under "Responsibilities" and "Achievements" (and I may not have those headings exactly right as it is from memory) then don't feel too worried about it as you don't need to duplicate what you say. As long as it is included in one or the other it will be taken account of in the assessment.

    Two other pieces of advice - make use of this forum, as many of the contributors are involved in the process and will help you out when you don't understand something, and go to the IET website to get help from a PRA to be on hand to guide you through the process rather than just having a one-off meeting at a Registration workshop.
