Engineers Australia.

Assessment process.

1. 1 Determine if your degree is recognised under the Washington, Sydney, or Dublin Accord.
2. 2 If recognised: apply through the Direct Pathway with your qualification evidence.
3. 3 If not recognised: prepare a Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) with three career episodes and a summary statement.
4. 4 Submit your application through the Engineers Australia migration skills assessment portal.
5. 5 EA reviews your application - CDR applications undergo plagiarism checking.
6. 6 Receive your assessment outcome indicating your assessed engineering category.

Required documents.

• Certified copies of engineering degree and transcripts
• Three career episodes (1000-2500 words each) for CDR pathway
• Summary statement mapping competencies to EA requirements
• Passport bio page and CV
• English language test results

Tips.

• Check the Washington Accord list first - if your university is accredited, you avoid writing a CDR entirely. This saves months of preparation time.
• Each career episode should describe a specific engineering project. Focus on YOUR personal contribution, not the team's achievements. Use first person.
• Do not copy from online CDR samples - EA uses sophisticated plagiarism detection. Plagiarised CDRs are automatically rejected and may result in a ban.
