Competency Demonstration Report (CDR)
Introduction
Welcome to Skylink Education and Immigration Consultants! We specialize in assisting aspiring engineers like you in achieving their dream of migrating to Australia. One of the critical components of your skill assessment application is the Competency Demonstration Report (CDR). Let’s explore what the CDR entails and how we can guide you through the process.
What is a CDR?
The CDR is a comprehensive document that showcases your engineering skills, qualifications, and professional experience. It is submitted to Engineers Australia, the assessing authority for engineering occupations, as part of your skill assessment application. The CDR serves as evidence of your competency and suitability for skill assessment and to seek skilled migration and employment in Australia.
Key Sections of the CDR
- Personal Information: Begin by providing essential details about yourself, including your full name, contact information, and passport details.
- Career Episodes (CE):
- You must write three career episodes, each highlighting a specific engineering project or task you have worked on.
- Describe your role, responsibilities, and achievements in each episode.
- Showcase your problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and technical expertise.
- Use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) format to structure your career episodes.
- Summary Statement (SS):
- The SS links your career episodes to the relevant competency elements.
- Cross-reference the episodes with the Engineers Australia competency standards.
- Demonstrate how you meet the required competencies.
- Continuing Professional Development (CPD):
- Detail your ongoing learning and professional development activities.
- Include workshops, conferences, courses, and any other relevant training.
- Highlight your commitment to staying updated in your field.
