Hi All,

I applied for EA assessment via CDR route for civil engineer on 4th March & got my
positive assessment today. I have been a silent member of this forum & its time to
give something back. Here are some tips for the people who are in process of
applying;
1- Appear in IELTS exam before hand.
2- Start writing your episodes while preparing for IELTS. This will give you plenty
of time afterwards to review your episodes & will actually help you prepare for
written exam.
3- Prepare your detailed CV.
4- The duties mentioned in your CV should match to those mentioned for your
occupational code.
5- Now write career episodes by keeping your CV, relevant.
6- No need to write long stories. No need for figures, charts, tables. Keep it
simple. It should be concise & there should be a systematic method to it e.g. I
wrote all three episodes, based on the structure design so my episodes had the
following general pattern;
Problem Statement>Data Required (Loading,Usage of Building etc)>Material
Strengths>Analysis Method>Design Method Based On Any Code>Results>Reports/Drawings.
7- Download the summary statement from EA Website. Number your paragraphs. Write
each episode in a separate word document. Write summary. Give general statements
about each competency & mention relevant paragraphs. Usually 3 elements from each
section are more than enough.

The general supporting documents required for assessment are following;

- Passport size photograph. (2"x2").

- Scanned original of transcript.
- Scanned original of Degree.
- Scanned original of IELTS Transcript.
- Scanned original of Identification Document (passport etc).
- Scanned original of Joining Letters (if you are going for work assessment) for
all the companies, you have worked for. Needless to say that they should be on
Letter heads, having clearly mentioned dates, offered position etc.
- Scanned original of Confirmation/Promotion/Experience/Letter from Supervisor.
Should be on company Letter heads.
- Salary Slips. If your organization doesn't issue salary slips then provide bank
statements/tax returns/wealth statement.
- In the end, it is advisable that the assessment should be done for that length of
career only, for which viable evidences are available.

Kindly add to the list, if something is missing. Good Luck.
