NCEES Record

[ilikespe]

NCEES record how does it work. After we input employment and pe references, does NCEES contact each references and employment or does applicant contact each references using provided NCEES form and provide NCEES the form after references fill out the form and send to applicant? How does that work?

 

[Lomarandil]

The applicant will contact each reference and send them a provided NCEES form. The references will then send their completed forms directly to the NCEES. It's good to include a pre-addressed and stamped envelope to them for that reason.

Sounds like a lot work...just like PE application all over again...what is benefit besides the expedite on the RPE?

 

[knight1fox3]

That depends on the industry you work in. I know when I interviewed for a consulting position, having an NCEES record was looked upon as a benefit to the firm since they would have an engineer on staff that could be licensed rather quickly.

And yes, it is a fair amount work (just like registering for the PE) to get a record, but very much worth it if one plans to become licensed in multiple states.

Does anyone have recent sample work experience form that they can share for ncees record?

 

[KatyLied P.E.]

I did one recently. I'll see if I can print off the copy. it was a relatively quick process. I just passed the PE in April 2014 for Alabama and last week became licensed in Georgia as a result of using the NCEES record.

I did the same thing. Licensed in Missouri, then when I applied to Washington, it was just a matter of filling out a few forms rather than getting references & transcripts for each state. If/when I apply to another state everything will be there.

Just know that not every state accepts all portions of the record. Some states are picky about the references and/or work experience.

Also, save a copy of everything you submit to NCEES records program, once it is submitted you can't see it again.

Do you have a copy of the work experience you submitted with your application to sit for the PE exam? It should be relatively similar in my opinion. Shortly after I passed my PE exam, I applied for an NCEES record and submitted much of the same information with a few additional PE references.

Generally the state board application will clearly indicate whether or not they will accept an NCEES record. It's best to read the requirements prior to making any record transmittal requests to NCEES. Also agree with keeping copies of all your record application documents. It's pretty easy today to keep copies of documents by either converting them or scanning to PDF.

Agreed....but if you have 2-3 states for the next couple years in mind that you may need to apply to, it's looking it up. Also NCEES keeps a list on their website of which states accept what (though take it with a grain of salt).

Katy and Cupojoe - how long did it take for you guys to get your record verified and approved by NCEES from the day you submitted it online?

 

[KatyLied P.E.]

It was about a week between the time they received my last reference until they approved my record. Not long at all. Most of the time was spent on my end in coordinating transcripts, references, work verifications, etc.

 

[knight1fox3]

Mine took about a month. But it was "exam season" when I submitted my application.

 

[Kolso1PE]

Thanks guys I appreciate it - I'm submitting my application next week.

It took about a week to get the approval and the forms.

It took a couple months to get the forms submitted. They lost some of the forms and misfiled some of them, so if it is taking a long time and your references say they have mailed them in, don't hesitate to call.

 

[iwire]

thanks everyone. I will probably start the process..considered I need to be licensed in DC/VA/MD/DE and PA eventually...

Yeah, and on the transcript request, it doubles, because schools want you to send the school's form along with the NCEES form (and of course the check, what a scam).

I had 5 transcript requests, since I have college credit a 5 different colleges/universities.

I applied for my NCESS record back in March. Each year I have to send in one reference form, correct? I have since change jobs so I assume I will have to send in a work history document. I also started working on a Masters degree so I have some credits now, do I need to send a copy of that transcript every year until I graduate, or can it wait until I graduate?

It's total scam..but luckily i don't have to pay for it.....so i have to send in my experience on yearly basic?

 

[cupojoe PE PMP]

I think just a recommendation form and a few bucks. Im not sure what happens if you swith jobs and/or take classes.

 

[P-E]

I think you have to update your employment if it changes. I went through the whole record application, took 3 months to finally get the number. First state I need comity doesn't use it. Nj go figure.
