CDR Requirements for ANZSCO 263311
A complete Engineers Australia CDR usually includes three Career Episodes, a Summary Statement and a Continuing Professional Development list. Each Career Episode should explain your personal contribution, not only the background of the project or the duties of the team.
- Career Episodes: choose projects that show analysis, design, testing, implementation and engineering judgement.
- Summary Statement: map each competency element to exact paragraph numbers from the Career Episodes.
- CPD: list training, software learning, technical reading, seminars, safety learning and professional development activities.
Common Mistakes
- Selecting an ANZSCO code that does not match the actual technical work.
- Using generic wording without calculations, designs, standards, diagrams or testing evidence.
- Writing too much about company background and too little about personal engineering decisions.
- Mapping Summary Statement indicators to weak or unrelated paragraphs.
