hi all, a lot of good information here. Just want to confirm a few things from what I gathered:
1. an IR mentor is not necessary, provided that you can find an external IR that is willing to endorse your application when you applied?
2. I have worked for 18 months without a supervision of an IR. Does that experience count?
3. If I don't have IR mentor in the company, do I need to follow the Log Book scheme? I read the answers above saying a written report can replace the logbook, but do I need an IR mentor for this to be eligible?
Thanks all. Have a nice day
I went through route 3 so maybe different from the other 2 route.
1. External Ir can certify true copy of certs etc. For the experience report, BEM asked for endorsed copy, I just get it from my ex boss who is not an Ir but Ir equivalent (overseas PE). Should be more relevant than an external Ir who don't really know what you do.
2. The experience count from the day of getting graduate engineer. The experience after obtaining graduate engineer may or may not be engineering related, so that depends what you submit and answer BEM if they ask.
3. As 1. Should have Ir equivalent in the company you working if engineering related. From the other thread you in SG? There are many Malaysian Irs working there, can try ask around if they willing to be mentor.
