Every year thousands of aspiring engineers come to Australia with only one dream – to have a fulfilling career in the domain of engineering. But unfortunately, only a few get to live their dream as the majority fails to prepare an impressive CDR for Engineers Australia. If you are an engineer who is willing to migrate to Australia, here are few things you need to learn.
· According to Engineers Australia Migration Skills Assessment booklet, CDR or competency demonstration report is compulsory for all the overseas engineers, except for the people who are coming from a signatory member nation of Sydney Accord, Dublin Accord or Washington Accord.
Engineers Australia CDR is meant for not only professional engineers but also for engineering technologists, engineering associates and engineering manager.
All the CDR applicants need to have competency in the English language. The applicants must have a minimum score of 6.0 in all four modules in their IELTS test. For those who appeared for TOEFL test, must have a minimum score of 12 in Listening, 13 in Reading, 21 in Writing and 18 in Speaking.
Native English speakers and those who have completed their under graduation, masters or PhD in Engineering from an Australian University do not need to provide documents for their English competency.
You need to provide three career episodes to describe your engineering education and/or work experience. Each of these episodes focuses on a particular period or a specific aspect of your engineering activities.
Each of the career episodes should be a minimum of 1000 words and maximum of 2500 words. However, you should not mention too much of technical material in the content.
A career episode is practically an essay and should be written in a particular format. It should have an introduction of around 100 words, a background of 200-500 words, details about personal engineering activities of 500-1000 words, and a summary of 50-100 words.
You need to add CPD or continuing professional development in the CDR Australia. This CPD is an account of your continuing development in the field of engineering after you have finished the under graduation. A CPD must not be more than one A4 page.
You need to be very discreet about the details you provide in your CDR. Also, submit all the documents that are required along with the career episodes.
