CPEng Australia Requirements For Candidates With 15+ Years Of Experience
If you have more than 15 years of experience as an engineer, you are likely to be a senior leader in your engineering profession. You would have also shown the 16 competencies necessary to get registered as a CPEng Australia many times in your career.
Taking this fact into account, Engineers
Australia has made it much easier for senior engineering professionals to apply
for Chartered using an interview.
This pathway has excluded the industry
review and formal assessment steps, accepting your years of experience with a
minimal time commitment.
Eligibility
criteria for CPEng Australia:
To attain Chartership, you need to meet the
following criteria:
·
A minimum of 15 years of
post-graduate experience
·
You must have held major
responsibility across your engineering career including leading projects and
teams
·
Engineers Australia
membership at Member level or higher
How
to apply for Chartership:
After making sure that you fulfill the
eligibility criteria, you need to follow the instructions given below:
1.
Pre-approval:
Create an expanded resume with details
related to your major projects whose responsibility you took and your
attainments. It must include the positions you had, situations, problems and
opportunities you faced and the expert skills or knowledge you applied to
attain a positive outcome. Its purpose is to ensure that the assessors can see
how you have fulfilled the Engineers
Australia competencies (16 competencies) related to your occupational
category.
Within your resume, you must include the
names, positions, company and contact details of two referees. One of your
referees must be capable of verifying your resume and qualifications. After
that, mail your resume and referees to Engineers Australia requesting to apply
for Chartered for 15+ years of experience.
2.
Self-assessment:
After that, Engineers Australia will email
you a self-assessment form that you need to complete. Complete this form and
email it back to Engineers Australia.
If your pre-approval is confirmed, you will
get another mail from Engineers Australia with a link making it easier for you
to apply via the EA portal.
3.
Prepare
and upload documentation:
Utilize the link you got in the mail and
adhere to the prompts in the portal to upload:
·
The resume you mailed to
Engineers Australia including the details of your 2 referees
·
Proof of your continuing
professional development (CPD). You are required to have completed at least 150
hours of CPD over the last 3 years.
·
A color-scanned copy of
your photo identification. A driver’s licence or passport is fine.
4.
Professional
Interview:
A professional interview with an Engineers
Australia evaluator is the last step towards becoming a CPEng
Australia.
The authority will contact you to fix a
time for your professional interview with one of its assessors, and you will
get an invitation to the online Teams or Skype interview. It usually takes a
few weeks for an interview to be fixed.
This interview will take nearly an hour and
will include a wide discussion regarding your engineering career. The evaluator
will see proof you have fulfilled the 16 competencies that are related to your
occupational category. They will also use this interview to make sure that you
have deep engineering knowledge and experience in your areas of practice.
You should prepare a short presentation to
introduce yourself and highlight the major projects and activities to show your
attainments. At most 6 to 8 slides are fine.
Application
result:
You will get a confirmation mail in the EA
portal after the interview. It will let you know the result of your Chartered
application. The evaluator may also tell you the result of your application at
the end of the interview.
On a successful Chartered application, you
will get your official Chartered certificate in the email soon after.
