On Quora Manoj Palwe - Migration Consultant with 16 years of rich consulting experience,answering, what to prepare a Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) for Civil engineers migrating to Australia?

I have help my clients with the successful preparation of more than 300 CDR.

The fundamentals of writing any report are:

understand the purpose of the report

provide the reader with the information they want

write in a language and style that the reader wants and will understand

Here is how these basic principles apply to writing career episode reports for a CDR application.

IT IS ABOUT

Providing detail of what you have done to show the Engineers Australia assessors you have the competencies given in the elements and sub-elements for the discipline and level you are applying for recognition as. These competencies are listed in the Appendices of the Engineers Australia Migration Skills Handbook.

IT IS NOT ABOUT:

what the company you were employed by has done
the size and market position of your company
the technical details of the project or job you have done
how well you were respected or your status
your unsubstantiated claims of skills or knowledge
Provide Engineers Australia the information they want

Engineers Australia want details.

Details of YOUR thought processes and actions
Evidence of your actions and the results
Details related to the competencies
Details for all sub-elements of all elements of all competencies
It is not enough to say ” We overcame a number of problems” Provide details,

Write in the language and style that Engineers Australia want

The Engineers Australian “dialect” for writing career episode reports is a prescriptive writing style. It has the following characteristics:

It is personal. The most frequently used word must be “I”
It is active. I planned, I calculated, I measured, I obtained feedback, I researched – I did it my way.
It is simple and clear.
