Engineers Australia CPEng Stage 2 Competency (Personal Commitment)
This blog is of value to those who want to be registered as a
Chartered Engineer by Engineers Australia. Read the whole blog to know more
about the Engineering Australia CPEng
requirements.
To get yourself registered by Engineers Australia, you need to go
through the Stage 2 competency standards assessment. Having succeeded in this
assessment, you will be able to attain Chartered membership of Engineers
Australia (CPEng). Apart from that, you can also get yourself registered on the
National Engineering Register (NER).
This membership is exclusive to Engineers Australia. Its
recognition is accepted by the government, the public, and businesses all over
the world. If you attain the CPEng status, then you also have a career-long
obligation for the maintenance of competency in a selected practice area.
Introduction
to Stage 2 Competency Standards:
The Stage 2 competency standards are general. These standards apply
to all disciplines of engineering in four units given below:
1.
Personal
commitment
2.
Obligation
to community
3.
Value in
the workplace
4. Technical proficiency
Each of the four units given here has elements of competency and
indicators of attainment. These competence elements are the abilities required
to the unit of competence and the indicators of achievement are a guide to the
engineering work that is taken into account for the demonstration of attainment
of the competency to become Engineers Australia CPEng.
Here, in this blog, we will let you know about the first unit Personal
Community in detail.
