How many of you are Professionally Registered?

It would be great for others to read about how you found the process, what the benefits are, what you feel could improve the process and what difference it has made to your career!

Also, what advice would you give to somebody thinking of becoming Professionally Registered and what words of encouragement would you give to them?

    I have just become professionally registered without a mentor and found the process very easy and straight forward.



    I don't use career manager, personally I prefer to use my portfolio of evidence, this is sectioned into the relevant competencies where I can review and assess each piece of evidence against the next, I think this gives me good feel for where I am in my development and easily highlights weaker evidence and areas.



    The Application form was very straight forward to complete with the help of a local Professional Registration Adviser who reviewed my application before submission, the interview was more informal than expected, we talked through my application and I used my portfolio of evidence to highlight and explain my answers when there were additional questions.



    I don't think professional registration will have much impact on my career, as a company we have few professionally registered engineers, possibly I will see more benefit should I decide to move on from my current position?
