This Review-Day Preparation course will guide you through all the activities that you will have to undertake prior to and during your CIHT Professional Review. It will cover the whole process from the submission, through the presentation, to the interview, and the preparation for the day itself.
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.
Previous delegates have kindly provided the following feedback on this course:
"A very good insight into the CIHT requirements for CEng and IEng"
"An increased knowledge of the structure and of the content of my submission"
"A clear knowledge of what to do"
"A valuable response from the tutor on the submitted exercises"
"Providing the confidence to write clearly and communicate effectively in my application"
"Helpful guidance on preparing presentations"
Course Outline:
The course will follow the following topics:
Strategy
The Professional Review can be treated like a project. We shall consider:
- The CIHT standards that you must meet, referring to CIHT documents
- The timescales for preparing documents
- Securing the support of your sponsors
- The resources that you will need
- The deadlines for application and submission
The Presentation
We shall consider how best to prepare for the 15 minute presentation. This should expand on your application Project Summary, 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
Summary
Finally, delegates will have the opportunity in plenary session to reflect on the day, and discuss the issues that have arisen
The most comprehensive preparation will significantly enhance your prospects of passing the review
Intended For:
- Graduates who are preparing for CEng/IEng via CIHT
- Whether or not you have enjoyed formal training, this course will be of value to you
- If you have already drafted your reports, you can always improve them
- If you are sitting a CEng/IEng Review for the second time, your experience will be invaluable to your fellow delegates
Pre-Course Requirements:
Delegates should be familiar with the following CIHT documents:
- "Becoming a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer - EDUCATION"

and bring these documents (or the ones relative to their aspirations) with them
