Introduction

The member assessment is a combined assessment of your academic qualifications and

experience. It will let you know if you are ready to apply for a Professional Review at your

preferred grade and, if not, what other options you have.

It’s for non-members of ICE who are experienced engineers and would like to apply for a

Chartered Professional Review for CEng MICE, or a Member Professional Review for IEng

MICE, but whose qualifications have not been confirmed as eligible for CEng or IEng

registration.

After the assessment, you’ll automatically become an ICE graduate member 1.

Is the member assessment the right application for you?

If you already have confirmation from ICE that your academic qualification is eligiblefor your preferred grade (IEng or CEng) you should complete your initial professional

development before applying for Professional Review instead of applying formember assessment. If you have already completed the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers training

scheme A for civil or geotechnical engineers, you should apply directly for CharteredProfessional Review

You can’t apply for member assessment if you’re currently registered on any form oftraining agreement with ICE, another UK professional engineering institution or oneof the following institutions: HKIE, Engineers Australia, IPENZ, Engineers Ireland,Engineering Council of South Africa. If you are, please [email protected] for advice on your options

If you’re already professionally qualified as a civil engineer with another institution orin another EU member state, you may be eligible to apply for recognition of that

qualification or directly for Professional Review instead. Please check How tobecome a member of ICE for your options

If you don’t hold any academic qualifications, you should make a stage 1 applicationfor Technical Report Review instead

Getting started

Before you start, you’ll need an ICE membership number. If you don’t already have one,

you’ll need to create a non-member account by registering on MyICE. This will enable you to

make payments online and access information on our website that’s been tailored to your

particular interests. You will find your membership number within “My Profile” in your MyICEaccount.

When you register, please take the time to complete the diversity section in “My Profile” as

an online alternative to the equal opportunities monitoring form in the member assessment

application. The information you provide will only be used in an aggregated form and you will

never be individually identifiable. You can opt to decline to answer each or any of the

questions if you wish.

1 If there is any reason why you can’t be a graduate member after our assessment, we will explain this

to you and refund the subscription part of the fee.

M012 Version 1 Revision 1 – 21 December 2015


What do I have to send?

To apply for this assessment, you need to pay the application fee online and then send us:

The member assessment application form2

Certified copies of your academic qualifications and related documents

An extended CV Evidence of your professional experience, which you show by completing:

o An attribute achievement formo Appendices

Continuing professional development (CPD) records

Please refer to the section below on submitting your application for details of the format to

send these in.

Application form

Download the application form for member assessment from our website.

At the start of the form we ask you to state which grade of membership you are aiming for so

that we can confirm whether you are eligible to make a Professional Review application for

that grade. We also ask you to let us know when and where you’d like your eventual

Professional Review interview to be held. This information is only to assist us with planning

and doesn’t commit you or ICE to any future arrangements.

Please check our key membership dates to find out when and where we hold review

sessions. You can also ask to sit your review in a location that’s not listed, but we can't

guarantee it will be possible.

If we can’t accommodate you in your preferred centre, you’ll be given the opportunity to sit

your review in another centre. At smaller centres, where there may be limited capacity,

priority is given to local candidates.

You should apply for a member assessment at least 6 months before the application date for

your intended review session, to allow time for any further preparation that may be advised

as a result of the assessment. If further assessment or additional work experience is

needed before you can proceed to Professional Review you may have to wait until a later

session. Please refer to the section below on assessment and result for the possible

outcomes.

Academic qualifications

You need to provide evidence for each of your academic qualifications so we can check

whether you have the required level of academic knowledge for your preferred grade. ICE

may contact your university or college to verify the authenticity of your qualification. If any

qualifications are identified as fraudulent your application will be rejected.

Please refer to appendix A for the evidence required depending on the type of qualification

you hold. Applicants with qualifications from mainland China should refer to appendix B.

2 Including the equal opportunities monitoring form, unless you have completed the diversity section in

your MyICE “My Profile”.

Copies of original documents will need to be certified as true copies. If any of those are not

in English, you must also provide a certified English translation. Please refer to appendix C

for guidance on how to certify your copies and translations.

The following additional information may also assist your application:

If you’ve completed part of a qualification but not the full programme, please includea letter from the course provider

If you’ve completed part of a programme at a different university, please include aletter from the awarding university

Extended CV

Your extended CV should be up to four sides of A4 pages long. It should outline your

employment history and the main projects that you have worked on. It should focus on the

roles you have had and the experience you have gained. You need to demonstrate how you

have developed through your career and that you are now working at an appropriate level for

the grade of membership you are applying for.

Professional experience

As part of this assessment, you need to demonstrate the attributes required for your initial

professional development (IPD).

Rather than record the attributes as you go (as someone on an ICE Training Agreement

would), you should already have enough experience to tell us how you ’ve achieved them

throughout your career 3.

You do this by sending us an attribute achievement form and appendices.

The evidence you submit needs to show that you have the same level of skill, knowledge

and experience as someone who has completed an ICE Training Agreement for the same

grade of membership.

Support from a mentor

Mentors can give you support and guidance in preparing your application. Your mentor can

be any senior engineer who is able – and can make the commitment – to provide guidance.

If possible, they should also be an ICE member qualified at the equivalent grade or higher to

the grade you’re planning to apply for .

Your mentor should also, ideally, understand our procedures and standards so that they can

assess your competence and advise you on your submission. It’s also helpful if they’re

familiar with your work and can verify and sign your attribute achievement form.

It’s not compulsory to have a mentor, but it will strengthen your application because they can

verify the information you provide.

When you proceed to the Professional Review you’ll need three sponsors to support your

application. The lead sponsor must be an ICE member at the equivalent grade or higher

than the grade you’re applying for. If possible your mentor should be your lead sponsor.

3 If you do not have sufficient experience to do this, you should consider completing your IPD Online

by signing up to an employer-led training agreement or mentor-supported training instead.

Please refer to appendix D for more information about finding sponsors for your Professional

Review.

Criminal Convictions

No person with an unspent conviction relating to a Serious Criminal Offence will be

admitted to any grade of membership unless there are special circumstances that showbeyond reasonable doubt that the person is a fit and proper person to be admitted to

membership of the Institution. Supporters of such persons will be required to make a

specific declaration that they are aware of such person’s conviction and the nature of the

offence of which the person was found guilty.

If you have an unspent conviction relating to a serious criminal offence, please indicate this,

on your application form, and a member of staff will contact you directly and in confidence.

You will be sent a pro forma, asking you to state the nature of the crime and to provide a

statement on why you believe you are a fit and proper person to be admitted to

membership. This must be countersigned by your supporter.

The matter will be treated with the strictest confidence and the Qualifications Panel will

determine to whether you may be admitted to membership.

Attribute achievement form

The attribute achievement form is used to record how you’ve achieved each attribute for the

level of membership you’d like to apply for. The form gives detailed advice on how to

demonstrate the attributes. Typically, we would expect to see between three and six

examples of each attribute, at the ‘Ability’ (A) level.

The final page of the attribute achievement form should be signed and dated by your mentor.

If you don’t have a mentor, you can sign the form yourself.

Appendices

Appendices help to show the assessors examples of your work and the extent of your

experience. Where possible, they should be referenced to your attribute achievement form

with hyperlinks. The appendices should contain no more than:

Three drawings, which should be legible when printed at A3 size and relevant to your attribute statements

Twelve A4 sides of additional information, including any relevant calculations

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) records

When you apply for your member assessment, you’ll need to show a commitment to

continuing professional development (CPD). You do this by submitting a current

development action plan (DAP) and a personal development record (PDR) for at least the

last three years.

Your development action plan (DAP) looks ahead and must contain your personal

development objectives for at least 12 months ahead

Your personal development record (PDR) should describe all the formal and informal

training you’ve undertaken over the last three years or more. As a guide, you shouldhave at least 30 CPD hours per year

When you apply for a member assessment, you should have achieved the following

minimum hours of CPD:

Review session if the result is that more information, further learning or further work

experience is required for your preferred grade.

Admission to graduate membership

After we have assessed your application, you’ll automatically become an ICE graduate

member 4.

The application fee includes part-payment for the annual subscription fee for graduate

membership. When you receive your result letter you’ll have three months to pay the

balance to retain your graduate membership. If you paid the reduced application fee, there

will be no balance to pay for your subscription.

If you don’t pay the balance within three months, or if you don’t maintain your graduate

membership by paying subsequent annual subscriptions, your membership will lapse and

you may need to re-apply for assessment before you can proceed to Professional Review 5.

If you’re eligible for Professional Review

If we assess that you have the qualifications and experience for your chosen grade, we’ll

send you a result letter, by email, inviting you to make a Professional Review application.

The result letter may point out where your evidence of achieving the attributes wasn’t

particularly strong. These comments will help you prepare for the Professional Review, so

you can discuss them with your mentor and sponsors.

The result letter must be shown to the lead sponsor for your Professional Review application

who has to declare that they have seen it and that, as far as they can tell, you’ve addressed

the comments in the result letter.

Your result letter must also be submitted with your application for Professional Review soyour reviewers will see any comments in it.

If your qualifications do not meet the requirements for your chosen grade

If we assess that your qualifications do not meet the requirements for your chosen grade of

membership, we’ll let you know if you need to do any further learning or if there are

alternative options. We’ll also confirm whether you can apply for Professional Review at a

different grade in the meantime. This will allow you to progress to your chosen grade at a

later date if you choose to.

You may be given an alternative option to use the Technical Report Route, instead of

Professional Review. This would allow you to write a technical report, which shows that

you’ve gained the necessary technical knowledge and understanding through your

professional experience, rather than with a formal academic qualification.

If you choose this option you won’t have to make a formal stage 1 application, but you will

need to send a synopsis of your technical report and confirmation of mentor support back to

us for further assessment before you can proceed to stage 2.

4 If there is any reason why you can’t be a graduate member after our assessment, we will explain this

to you and refund the subscription part of your fee.5 For examples if any change is made to the academic standards or requirements for your chosen

grade whilst you are lapsed.

9/17



If you’re asked for more information about your experience

If we assess that you haven’t demonstrated sufficient experience for your chosen grade, this

may be because you need to provide additional information or you may need to gain more

experience. You should discuss your options with your mentor.

Any extra information you submit will be assessed (at no additional cost) within the nextavailable cycle of assessments, which may delay your intended application date for

Professional Review.

You’ll need to clearly list the changes and additional information that has been sent, or show

it in the margins of your revised documents.

If you don’t submit the additional information within six months, you’ll need to re-send all the

professional experience documents from your original application. This must show how

you’ve addressed the assessors’ comments.

In certain cases you may be invited to meet with your regional support team for advice on

your application before proceeding.

Demonstrating attributes at Professional Review

Passing a member assessment means that you have the required qualifications and

appropriate experience to apply for your chosen gr ade of membership but it doesn’t

guarantee your success at a Professional Review.

At your Professional Review you’ll have to demonstrate the attributes on the day – in a

report, presentation, interview and written exercise.

More information and supportOur Regional Support Teams (RSTs) can give you advice and guidance on all aspects of

your member assessment. You can find your RST’s contact details through the regional

page of our website.

It’s a good idea to listen to a member assessment webinar before preparing your application.

Please check our professional qualification webinars webpage for details of any live or

recorded seminars that you can access.

Appendix D – Finding sponsors for your ProfessionalReview

When you eventually apply for Professional Review, you’ll need three sponsors to support

your application. These sponsors must meet particular requirements, which are explained inthe Professional Review sponsor questionnaire.

Even though you don’t need sponsors to apply for a member assessment, we recommend

that you decide now who will they will be. If you don’t have suitable sponsors ready, your

Professional Review application will be delayed considerably.

It is your personal responsibility as a candidate to identify suitable sponsors but this can

sometimes be a challenge, particularly for the lead sponsor, if you don’t work directly with

ICE members. If you don’t think you know anybody that meets the requirements, you should

first check whether any of your work colleagues or contacts are members, as they will

already have a good knowledge of you and your work. You can also use our members’directory to check for ICE members by name, grade, location or employer.

Alternatively, you may need to start networking with ICE members, for example by attending

ICE events in your region. You can find out more about events near you on the regional

pages of our website.

If you’re still unable to find any suitable sponsors, please contact us for advice, by emailing

[email protected].
