How to get Chartered Slide 8

Chartered application requirements Knowledge & understanding Professional experience core principles competence advanced chemical commitment engineering & design Submit application Slide 9

Supporting evidence requirements Knowledge & understanding Professional experience Degree accredited to M-Standard = no additional evidence required. Competence and Commitment (C&C) report. Degree accredited to B-Standard or non-accredited= further evidence required. Submit application Slide 10

Preparing your Competence and Commitment report Slide 11

C&C report ▪ proof of professional competence ▪ 3,000 words max ▪ templates, examples and guidance available at: www.icheme.org/candc Slide 12

Show your experience Depth Continuing Breadth improvement Competence and commitment Best practise Responsibility Process safety Slide 13

Examples of professional experience Process plant operation Legalisation, regulation Computer application Development of Project management, Teaching, managing, products, services administration training Instrumentation & Technical/economic Quality & assurance control evaluation Research & Economic accountancy, Technical sales, development cost estimation marketing, contracts Health, safety, risk Design of process plant Sustainability & aspects & equipment environmental aspects Slide 14

Professional responsibility ▪ working under own supervision ▪ training others ▪ budget control ▪ acting on your own initiative ▪ responsible for consequences of your technical judgements You do not need to lead a team of engineers. Slide 15

The Competence and Commitment report Demonstrates ability to apply chemical engineering knowledge and understanding A to practical situations. Shows ability to handle the wider social, environmental, and economic B implications of your work. Shows interpersonal, leadership and communication skills.
