IPENZ information days for Grads

IPENZ is once again running our popular information days for graduate and experienced engineers.

The sessions are a good opportunity to learn more about IPENZ and what you need to do if you wish to apply for a competence-based IPENZ Membership class or register, now or in the future. During the sessions you can also sign up for IPENZ Graduate Membership.

If you are an experienced engineer who has started putting together your portfolio and have any questions, come along to the “one-on-one” session and get assistance from an IPENZ staff member or assessor.

There is no cost to attend the sessions. To register for your free session visit the IPENZ Calendar on www.ipenz.org.nz keyword "competence".
