The Professional Development Review (PDR) is the most important part of your
application for professional membership and registration with the Engineering
Council or Science Council. It is your means of conveying to the Institute’s assessors
that you should be considered a competent energy professional, taking into account
all your energy related experience, qualifications and professional development
activities to date. The core competences
are the same whether you are applying for professional membership on its own or
with registration. If the latter, they have to be expressed as Engineering or Science
competences so that we can access you accurately as Engineering or Science
professionals.
Your PDR is a freeform statement about you, your qualifications and experience, and
above all, your competence as an energy professional. One of the competences is
“communication”, and via your PDR, our assessors will learn how good a
communicator you are. There is no minimum and maximum length but as a guide
you should aim for between 1000 and 4000 words of English. We do not provide
sample PDRs as everyone’s circumstances are different. Your PDR should have a
logical and sensible structure, determined by yourself, and should not appear merely
as an extended CV or a list of job responsibilities. It should be in chronological or
reverse chronological order so that the assessor can map your development as an
energy professional easily and accurately. It must be written in the first person so
that, throughout, you can demonstrate your own personal achievements rather than
those of your team or organisation.
The reason why you are seeking professional membership of the Energy
Institute and how your job relates to the unique aims and objectives of the EI.
Details of your past CPD activities and information on your future plans, i.e.
how you plan to maintain your competence. Failure to include a detailed
CPD plan could lead to your application being returned.
As annexes you may provide your current roles and responsibilities, list
technical/research papers you have authored and provide other information you feel
will support your submission. The accent however should be on quality rather than
quantity.
