This Review Day Preparation course will guide you through all the activities that you will have to undertake prior to and during your Professional Review. It will cover the whole process: the submission, the presentation, the interview, and the written assignment/written test.
Many delegates may already have made progress in preparing their submissions. This course will help them and you to assemble the vital evidence to convince your reviewers that you have met the standards for CEng/IEng. The course will cover the following topics:
Strategy
The professional review can be treated like a project. We shall consider the ICE standards that you must meet - the "attributes"; the timescales for preparing documents and securing the support of your sponsors; the resources that you will need; and the deadlines for application and submission.
The experience and project reports
Your experience report and your project report are two major opportunities for you to demonstrate your professional competence. We shall see how your core/development objective achievement has contributed to meeting the ICE attributes. We shall explore the best structure for these two reports; the critical information that you should include; and the best balance between text and supporting documentation.
CPD plans and records
We shall consider the importance of the CPD cycle. You will share with the other delegate's examples of good CPD practice, and discuss how these can convince the reviewers of your future plans and aspirations.
The presentation
We shall consider how best to prepare for the presentation. This should expand on your project report, and set the agenda for the interview. We shall discuss presentational techniques - subject matter, style, language, visual aids, and rehearsal. Delegates will be invited to give short presentations, on which colleagues will offer feedback.
The interview
We shall discuss how you can prepare for the interview - what to highlight and what to avoid. We shall think about body language - both yours and the reviewers - and your tutor will give examples of the sorts of questions that you may expect on the day.
The written assignment/written test
We shall see how you can prepare for the written assignment/written test. Delegates will prepare a written assignment which will be marked, commented on by the tutor and returned - as if it had been submitted on Review Day.
Summary
Finally, delegates will have the opportunity in plenary session to reflect on the day, and discuss the issues that have arisen.
This most comprehensive preparation will significantly enhance your prospects of passing the review.
