Stage 2 / Chartered Support
Build a defensible portfolio of independent-practice evidence, competency claims, practice-area context, CPD and interview-ready examples for the applicable Chartered pathway.
Service overview
Focused support for the correct assessment task.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about Stage 2 / Chartered Support.
Current official requirements take precedence over general website information.
Is Stage 2 the same as Stage 1?
No. Stage 1 is entry-to-practice competency; Stage 2 concerns independent professional practice.
How many competencies are considered?
Current Chartered guidance describes 16 competency elements.
Do I need one example for every element?
Evidence should provide sufficient coverage; one genuine example may support multiple elements.
What can support a claim?
Reports, designs, reviews, emails, presentations, plans, decisions, CPD and referee-verifiable practice may be relevant.
Will you write interview answers?
We organise evidence and practise explanations; the applicant must answer from genuine experience.
Does long experience guarantee Chartered status?
No. Engineers Australia decides whether requirements are met.
