Completion of Application for Registration

Please be advised that an application for registration is only complete when the ‘Application for Registration’ form duly signed and dated is returned to the offices of the Board of Engineering of Trinidad and Tobago together with:-

1. The non-refundable application fee.

2. Acceptable supporting evidence of qualifications and professional organization membership (where applicable) originals and one copy each. The copies will be noted as “original seen” and the originals will be returned to the applicant at the time of presentation. An appropriately certified copy of the originals would suffice for overseas applicants, as well as

3. Statements from both sponsors duly signed and dated attesting from their personal knowledge of the applicant’s post graduate experience and any tutorship or training of his/her work experience, detailing specifics of the tasks performed that would now enable him/her to undertake, on his/her own, engineering work of a professional standard in his/her field. A sample of a suggested format in which this information may be submitted is attached herewith.

Of particular relevance would be actual tasks performed on various assignments detailing:-

• creative or original inputs at a professional level contributing to an engineering solution or resolution,

• design, investigation, reporting, diagnostic analysis and solution finding and problem solving of a professional nature,

• specification preparation and documentation,

• preparation of detailed ‘scope of works’ and terms of reference, and

• research leading to innovative developments in engineering design and methods requiring original thought and judgement and reporting thereof.

Of less relevance would be experience gained by performing:-

• routine standard quality control testing, measurement and assessment for product acceptability,

• routine maintenance monitoring and performance, and

• lecturing or teaching of a ‘non original’ nature.

The statements are to be confidential and submitted in sealed envelopes marked “confidential”. Where it is not possible for the applicant to obtain the detailed statements from sponsors who are Registered Engineers of Trinidad and Tobago, he/she should himself/herself provide a written explanation of why this is so and also include his/her own written statement of the information required above. In such circumstances, it is likely that the applicant would be required to attend an interview at which he/she would need to provide supporting evidence and/or samples (drawings, designs, calculations, reports, etc.) of work that he/she has actually done since graduation.

All applicants should further note that they may be required to attend an interview in advance of which they would need to provide the Board with examples of work actually performed by them since graduation - such as drawings, designs, calculations, reports, etc. The work would need to be of a professional nature under the supervision of a Registered Engineer of Trinidad and Tobago or other suitably qualified professional engineer.

Applicants who are required by the Board to attend interviews would be informed accordingly.
