- Career Manager is the online system for IET members to use for all things related to achieving professional registration. Students can use this platform to start their Development Action Plan or build a dynamic CV. They can also familiarise themselves with EngTech registration standard. Underpinning knowledge benchmarking for EngTech is level 3 . We can also offer EngTech to final year students. It is accessed via the IET website, once you’ve set up your own username and password. All the information that you put into Career Manager is held on a secure and backed up server and because it is password protected can only be viewed or edited by you. There are 3 main uses of Career Manager: Assess you Professional Development This part of Career Manager gives those still developing their competencies a system to work with to get them to the point where they are ready to apply for registration. By using this system every 3-4 months and logging competence evidence derived from work experience, training or study the system will correctly structure their professional development so they are aware when they are ready to apply. Applying for Professional Registration The part of Career Manager guides you step by step through the creation of your Professional Registration Application form and where you eventually upload the form to the IET for assessment. You should use the Career Manager application procedure to complete and submit your application. This takes you step by step through writing your application, how to upload your supporting documents, getting your supporter to provide their verification (which I’ll talk about later) and submitting your application for assessment. Continued Professional Development (CPD) This part is where IET members can log details of their Continued Professional Development.
