Engineers all over the world dream of attaining the CPEng (Chartered Professional Engineer) status given by Engineers Australia. It is because this designation brings with it many benefits that can enhance the quality of life of an engineer. So, if you are one of such dreamers, then read this blog. Here, we will tell you about the purpose of the assessment of Engineers Australia competency standards. Besides that, we will also tell you about the pathways for this assessment and the documents you need to submit for this evaluation.

What is the purpose of the Stage 2 Engineers Australia competency standards?

The Stage 2 EA Competency Assessment standards are used as the basis of evaluation for Chartered membership of Engineers Australia (CPEng) and registration on NER (the National Engineering Register).

Chartered membership is exclusive to Engineers Australia, EA. This professional credential is recognized by the government, businesses and the general public worldwide. The most important thing to remember for you is that if you attain this status, then you will have the responsibility of maintaining your professional competence in a chosen practice area.

Assessment pathway:

To get yourself assessed for Chartership, you will have four assessment pathways that are given below:

1.   Mutual Recognition Agreement or MRA

2.   Professional Development Program or PDP

3.   Engineering Competency Report or ECR

4.   Mature Experienced Engineer or MEE

Required documents for Engineers Australia competency standards Stage 2 assessment:

Having chosen the E-Chartered pathway, you need to submit a number of documents. The submission items are to provide documented proof to Engineers Australia for the assessment of your level of engineering competency of yours. We have provided below four main submission documents that are required by the EA for the assessment of your competency for Chartership. They all are given below:

·        Engineering competency claims (ECCs)

·        Engineering Experience Record (EER)

·        Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Record

·        Updated Resume

Competency standards:

The Stage 2 Competency Standards are generic in the sense that they apply to each discipline of engineering in four units:

·        Personal Commitment

·        Obligation to community

·        Value in the workplace

·        Technical proficiency

Each unit has elements of competency and indicators of attainment. The competency elements are the capabilities that are necessary to the unit of competence and the attainment indicators work as a guide to the engineering work likely to be taken as showing attainment of that competence.

Having given you a clear idea of the pathways and documents for your Engineers Australia Stage 2 competencies, we find it necessary to tell you that you should hire a Stage 2 competency report writing professional so that you can show your engineering competency in an effective and convincing way. Don’t be overconfident, as it may be a reason for the rejection of your CPEng application to EA.
