COURSES TO ASSIST ICE PROFESSIONAL REVIEW PREPARATIONS

We have scheduled two courses in February 2016 that should in particular assist delegates in their preparations for their ICE professional reviews. In brief the courses comprise:
  • Essentials of Project Management on 1 February 2016; this full day course costs only £220 + VAT per delegate, and would be of use too to young professionals interested in project management
  • The ICE Professional Review – Preparing for the Interview on 4 February 2015; limited to a maximum of 4 delegates, this course includes individual feedback on both the draft review report submitted by each delegate and on their performance during the mock interview; it costs £295 + VAT per delegate
Both courses are scheduled to run in Chesterfield. Discounts are available for group bookings or delegates attending more than one course. Please call or email us to reserve your place on a course. More courses are available – see here for our 2016 calendar of public courses or here for our full list of courses including those available on a bespoke basis.

MOCK INTERVIEW COURSES FOR MAJOR CONSULTANCY

Surepath Training have for many years been providing mock interview training courses across the UK for a major international consultancy. Typically three or four courses per year are run, for three or four delegates each time. Delivered by our Dr Andy Goodwin, who is a very experienced ICE reviewer, the aim of each course is to re-cap the review process and provide candidates with tips for success, before each candidate undergoes a full length mock interview based on their draft professional review submission. Individual feedback is provided to each candidate on their submission and performance at interview, to maximise their chances of success at review. Though necessarily challenging the courses are always well received by the candidates and the course contributes to the high success rate of candidates sitting their reviews. If you would like to develop a similar course for your company please contact Andy and he will be pleased to discuss how we could help. Alternatively if you have only a small number or occasional candidates we do run our own open course bi-annually – just contact us for more details.

MENTORING ACROSS THE UK

July and August are set prove interesting as we continue to provide our mentoring support to engineers from across the UK who are pursuing chartership with the ICE. In addition to running an open course on preparing for your professional review  (and running a bespoke version of it in London for a major consultancy) we will be travelling across the UK seeing our mentees. Our travels will take us to places such as Aberdeen, Loughborough and Slough. We are pleased to announce too that we have recently taken on support to a Derbyshire based senior engineer. We are really looking forward to challenging and guiding them all to achieve success as soon as possible. To find out more about the mentoring services we can provide to you or your staff please contact Andy Goodwin on 01246 807808. Alternatively contact us via the contact page on the web site.
