The Association of Cost Engineers 3

“I’m a project control engineer and the guy I work next

to is an equipment engineer. I have been through the

same sort of company training as him and I think my

professional qualifications – QCF Diploma at Level 5 in

project control – are as good as his but he is a registered

engineer and puts the letters I.Eng after his name and

has that status as a professional.

I know I am as good as him and make just as important

a contribution to the project as he does. Why can’t I

have the same sort of professional recognition?”

Well now you can through the

How well established is the Tiered

Accreditation process?

Does it have a solid track record of

credibility?


ACostE Tiered Accreditation builds on:

•The Level 5 National Occupational Standards

for Project Control, Estimating, Planning and

Cost Engineering

•The Engineering Council processes and

standards for registering engineers as C.Eng,

I.Eng and Eng.Tech.

Thus the basis is established and the process

and standards have credibility

How can we be sure?

• ACostE has a long history of involvement with the

Engineering Council as a licensed member and

professional affiliate.

• It has volunteer representatives in a number of

positions within the Council and thus has a first hand

knowledge and understanding of the registration

processes and standards.

• The Engineering Committee takes candidates with the

necessary engineering qualifications and experience

through to C.Eng and I.Eng


Essential features of ACostE Tiered Accreditation

• Levels are aligned to Engineering Council levels, i.e.

EngTech, IEng and CEng.

• Defined exemplifying qualifications.

• Standard Route for those with exemplifying

qualifications and Individual Routes for others.

• Submission review and professional review interview

by trained assessors.

• Registration levels and post nominals based on

qualifications, experience and proven competence.

• Post award requirements for Continuing Professional

Development.

Assessors reviewed the SL documented processes and scored

those

– ACostE received a 50% response to the questionnaires by mid

February 2012 and also undertook a small number of random

telephone interviews

– Three ACostE/TASC Assessors analysed the questionnaires on

behalf of the Accreditation Board

• ACostE issued a comprehensive report to Sellafield Ltd in March

2012, with Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations

14 November 2012 34



Development Accreditation – SL Benefits

• Sellafield Ltd Competency and Development Framework has been

benchmark against the ACostE standards.

• Recommendations to improve the Framework will lead to

improvements in Project Controls competency levels across job

roles and families

• There is a ‘Golden Thread’ linking the Project Controls National

Occupational Standards, TASC – NVQ/QCF delivery and the

ACostE Accreditation and Company Competency and Development

Frameworks

• The ACostE Tiered and Company Accreditation process is

approved by ICEC. (International Cost Engineering Council) and

provides a basis for continuous professional development.

What is Cost Engineering?

Cost Engineering is a generic term relating to the application of

scientific principles and techniques to those business disciplines

associated with the planning, management and forecasting of cost

and cost drivers.

Cost Engineering requires the combination of engineering practice,

judgement and experience in order to predict the potential cost of an

appropriately described item, product, service, programme, project,

operation or proposal.

Background to Tiered Accreditation

The fact is that

CEE&P skills

cross over a

number of

established

professional

frameworks


Accreditation Process – for the standard route

• Apply to ACostE for registration as a candidate.

• Complete the registration form and identify two referees. One

should be an ACostE member or member of a similar professional

body.

• Prepare an extended C.V.

• Attend for a Professional Review Interview.

• The Accreditation Board considers the results of the application,

the qualifications, the extended CV and the report of the

interview and decides to award registration or advises additional

experience requirements.

• If all is OK, receive your Incorporated certificate and CPD

requirements pack.


And if I don’t have the QCF Diploma, what then?

• Complete the registration form

• Accreditation Board review and decision on the appropriate

level. Issue the relevant Level Pack to the candidate.

• Complete the Level Pack information, including qualifications.

• Information reviewed and additional requirements determined.

With a valid Batchelor’s degree this is likely to mean completing

5 specified QCF Units of Assessment with the support of an

appointed accreditation assessor.

• Complete the 5 units, prepare an Experience Statement and

attend a Professional Review Interview.

• Thereafter, the process is as for the standard route.

After Accreditation - maintaining status

• You are required to demonstrate CPD:

• Continuous professional development (CPD) • Professional will use a pre formatted spreadsheet to maintain a

diary

• There will be set of rules as to how you score your experience

• The measures are for activities that are changes from the routine

day job, that extend your :

• Professional educational knowledge and skills

• Professional breadth

• Professional standing

• This must be maintained on a continuous basis and be available

for inspection at any time the Accreditation Board call it in for

review.

• Non Maintenance / or poor quality CPD submission will lead to

suspension of professional status, until addressed

• The board will review 20% of registrants annually
