Competence-tested assessment
Are you looking at applying for competence tested IPENZ Membership, or a current-competence registration engenerate is here to help!
To obtain entry to an IPENZ competence-tested membership class or registration on a current-competence register, an engineer must show that they are able to practice competently in their practice area to a reasonable standard related to their engineering role.
An application for competence assessment therefore focuses on the submission of a portfolio of evidence. Your approach to compiling a portfolio of evidence may differ depending on how long you have been practicing engineering since graduating. Follow the link that applies to you.
