Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) is an important document for Engineers who want to be eligible for a skilled migration visa in Australia. A CDR comprises career episodes (CEs), summary statement and CPD. The main purpose of the career episodes is to illustrate the engineer’s talents and expertise to the reader. It describes your role in the occupation that you have selected for nomination in order to acquire Australian Skilled Migration. The report showcases your performance as an Engineering Associate (EA), Professional Engineer (PE) or Engineering Technologist (ET).

To write a professional CDR, you must have a clear understanding of the purpose of the CDR. You must provide all the significant information which is in line with the Engineers Australia (EA) guidelines and it must be written in such a way that is approved by the Australian Standards. The content must follow the parameters that are set by Engineers Australia. In order to prove your aptitudes, your past work must be accurately depicted in the relevant fields. By reviewing the Appendices of the Engineers Australia Migration Skills handbook, you can find out which skill set is connected to your occupation of choice.

Most of the engineers find the task of creating a CDR difficult and overwhelming. They don’t have the technical expertise or know-how of writing an appropriate Competency Demonstration Report (CDR). Due to the lack of information, they write an unsatisfactory report, which reduces their likelihood of them getting the Australian Skilled Migration Visa.

An overview of CDR

www.cdr.ae

CDR is short for the Competency Demonstration Report. Australian authorities such as EA - Engineers Australia and ACS - Australian Computer Society uses this report to evaluate the capabilities of engineers from all over the world with a desire to work in Australia. As a part of the migration skill assessment test, EA requires an applicant to submit the CDR while ACS requires that the applicant submit RPL or Recognition of Prior Learning report. In the same way, Engineers New Zealand requires the submission of Knowledge Assessment 02 or KA02 report for the evaluation of candidacy. The engineer will be allowed to work in Australia or New Zealand only upon submission and subsequent acceptance of these Assessment tests.

CDR includes the CPD or Continuing Professional Documents list, three CEs or Career Episodes and a Summary Statement. Each Career Episode is an essay of about 2500 words written in the first person. Through the career episodes, the applicant has to explain all technical and non-technical aspects of their major projects or work experiences.

In case the report is not up to the mark, EA can ask for the resubmission of a CDR, evaluate an applicant for the lower category than what is applied for even discard it.
