What We Review in Your CDR Report?
Your CDR must show your engineering work with clear evidence. We check each section and mark what needs revision before submission.
1. CDR Structure Review
Check your CDR order, section flow, paragraph layout, and presentation. Keep CPD, Career Episodes, and Summary Statement properly arranged.
2. Career Episode Review
Review your project background, personal role, technical tasks, decisions, and outcomes. Show your own engineering contribution with stronger detail.
3. Summary Statement Review
Check each competency element against the right Career Episode paragraph. Fix weak references, missing links, and unsupported claims.
4. CPD Statement Review
Review your CPD title, date, duration, provider, and learning outcome. Present your professional learning record in the required format.
5. Technical Evidence Review
Check your tools, methods, standards, calculations, systems, and problem-solving details. Strengthen sections that lack engineering depth.
6. Similarity and Originality Review
Find copied-style wording, repeated phrases, and sample-based content risks. Revise weak sections with original, applicant-led wording.
7. Grammar and Presentation Review
Fix unclear wording, grammar errors, sentence flow, spacing, and formatting issues. Present your CDR in a clean, professional style.
