I am about to submit my CEng application however I am slightly concerned that my evidence for each competence is too detailed and I am providing too much information which the Assessors will find 'daunting' to read.
Can anyone please advise if there is any guidance as to how much detail to provide? Generally I have between 500-800 words detailing my evidence for each competence giving a couple of project related instances where I demonstrate competence. Thanks for any feedback. Michael |

I would say that 500-800 words for each competance is a bit too much. Have you been in contact with your PRA? He or she should be able to help with this.
It is hard to say as i have not seen your application, but i would say try to keep it short and to the point. do not over elaborate what you write. if you do a claculation for something say 'I calculated X, to show Y using the Z formula' do not write all about the calculation. As you say writting too much will put the reader off. Maybe get someone else to look at the form and ask their advice. |

Thanks Sincy
I did send my draft application to my RPA but the only feedback I received back was that my application 'looks fine'...this makes me think it perhaps wasn't read in great detail by my RPA. My mentor believes I have possibly included too much information but we have not been able to find any guidance on the matter as to the appropriate amount of detail to provide. I think the best course of action would be to try and cut down on the volume without losing any of the evidence of competence. Cheers Michael |

Michael,
I would actually try to sit down with your PRA or talk to him on the phone. i know i corrisponded with my PRA via email and it was only until we met face to face and then discussed by phone that i really understood what he meant. Not to be unkind to the PRA but maybe he is a busy man (or woman) who scanned over it, or maybe it is fine, who am I to say. Best to talk it over with them. they are there to help you after all. |
