Professional Development
Professional development - for those with experience as well as the newly-qualified - is a key to competence and employability. For further information, go to our Guidance on Professional Development.
mypath - the Society's online Professional Development Tool
mypath is an online logbook, free of charge which benefits young members, who have just started their career and wish to record their professional development against the competences in UK-SPEC for EngTech, IEng and CEng, and more experienced members looking for an effective way to record their Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
To register on mypath, click here (Add the name of your employer, or add 'studying at university' or 'not working', as appropriate)
Guidance for mypath users
Data submitted or uploaded to mypath by users is stored on a secure server in the UK which is managed by Engineering Council. Files of up to 16MB can be uploaded to mypath.
The Society does not monitor the progress of mypath users (unlike other online schemes). Users have sole responsibility for ensuring their records are regularly reviewed and updated. mypath users can allow mentors or managers to review records when they want. Users email their mentor and this allows time limited access for comment on existing and new evidence. In addition, mypath is a tool to support users. Its use is not mandatory for membership or to gain registration via the Society.
Those seeking registration may use the evidence recorded when completing the Qualifying Report.
If you would like more information, send an email to lynn.beattie@aerosociety.com (for staff in companies with accredited training schemes) or margaret.breugelmans@aerosociety.com (for all other users).
