I assume you're referring to the National Engineering Register (NER) Assessment by Engineers Australia. The NER Assessment evaluates an engineer's qualifications, experience, and competencies to determine eligibility for registration. Here’s how it works in brief:
First, you submit an application with documents like your qualifications, an expanded CV detailing your engineering projects, and a self-assessment of NER competencies (e.g., problem-solving, ethical practice). You also nominate two referees who can verify your work. Next, assessors review your submission to ensure it meets the guidelines, checking for at least five years of relevant experience, including four years post-graduation. They then contact your referees to discuss your skills and experience. Finally, you attend an interview (usually via video or in-person) with a qualified assessor to demonstrate your ability to practice independently. The process typically takes 3-4 months, ending with a decision on your registration.
