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.

    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.


    Paul,

    I don't think everyone is using it (in fact I am pretty sure not everyone is using it, as I have pointed some candidates towards it myself as they were not aware of it) but I also feel that while it is useful for using to track your own competence, it is also good to get someone else (e.g. a mentor or PRA) to review what you have put as that will correct the two most common errors I see. First any misunderstanding of what the competence really means (and I have seen that reflected in the framework) but also the common fault of undervaluing self. I have had to tell candidates in the past that they have marked themselves to low on the table and that they are actually a level above where they think they are.


    It is a useful document to submit with your application, not because it provides additional information about meeting the competences for the Assessors but because it shows that you are looking at your development and are being self critical. In this respect it makes a good adjunct to the Development Action Plan if the DAP shows planning to develop the areas where you may be slightly weaker according to the Framework.
