** Ask the Expert ** - Professional Registration

Hello and welcome to the IET Women's Network’s first ''Ask the Expert'' discussion area, focusing on professional registration!

 

This area of the discussion forum allows you to interact with skilled IET Professional Registration Advisors, (PRA’s) helping you to get a feel for the benefits of becoming professionally registered but to also address any misconceptions associated with the application process.





This discussion forum provides you with:

 


An online, professional, global networking platform, in which you can ask questions that may be answered by members, volunteers, PRA’s and members of the interview panel;

 



An opportunity for further networking and knowledge sharing / acquisition;

 



A means of encouragement and support for you and others;

 



Builds confidence in initiating the application process;


 

There are significantly lower numbers of professionally registered women, within the IET, when compared to that of their male counterpart.

 

If the reason for this is due to a misconception surrounding the application process or uncertainty as to what the benefits are, then this forum will serve as a means of helping to alter those perceptions and inform you of how professional registration can be of benefit to you.

 

We do hope that you will take advantage of this ‘’Ask the Expert’’ discussion area.



Kind regards,

Jo Foster

    Hello experts,



    I've just started trying to document my experience so far to work towards chartership, hopefully CEng. I currently have about 5 years work experience. My current employer has encouraged me to think about trying to get chartered but it wouldn't be a requirement for progression. 



    When I started to document my experience I found that my projects often covered more than one competency, is there a preference to the format of the report or any guidance available on structure? It seemed to me that it might flow better as a list of projects I have worked on but I'm not sure if this is acceptable or what is most common.



    Regarding gaps in experience - these seem to occur in a specific category and I am unsure to address them moving forward. How much experience would count for developing competency? It would be good to discuss this and if there are any examples you can provide that would also help. The phrase competence can be a bit vague...



    Many thanks,

    Nicola
