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.

    Thank you, James and Alasdair, for your feedback I really appreciate it. 


    I initially found the Career Manager windows less user friendly when writing my 'responsibilities and achievements' and so I have chosen to use Word as the platform to write my career profile. My plan is to transfer this information into Career Manager once I feel happy with it, which I don’t think will be a problem.


    What I am finding confusing is within the Professional Development menu, there is an IEng UK-Spec framework which requires me to add my evidence against the individual UK-Spec skillsets. This is the section which I feel I am duplicating against what is already in my career profile/Job description/responsibilities & achievements?


    There is a text which states although this document (UK-Spec Framework) is not part of the final/submitted IEng application, it can be exported and attached as a supporting document? I actually like the framework as it is easier to track my progress against the individual UK-Spec skills but I feel like large proportions of this information is contained within my Responsibilities and Achievements section. 


    II am just wondering what the consensus is and whether this is a tool everyone is using or whether this is just something I should use for my own personal use to track my competence.

    Sorry if I have over complicated the process, any help is gratefully received.
