Programme Overview

The transition from University or college life to the world of work requires substantial application and attention. This stand-alone Level 9 CPD Certificate programme (which is accredited by TU Dublin) has been specifically designed in partnership with leading employers to allow recent graduates (up to 12 months out) to get to grips quicker with the professional standards expected of those working in engineering-led teams and organisations. 

Participants will understand what is expected of them, how they should behave and what they can do to accelerate their professional development and career prospects.

Programme Structure

The CPD Certificate programme equates to one TU Dublin module and is delivered on a part-time basis comprising six mandatory module components, approximately one weekday per month, for six months. Each module component is supplemented by pre & post component assignments and learning contract agreements. 

All module components are 9am-5pm and will take place in Engineers Ireland, 22 Clyde Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

Programme Features

The unique teaching and learning methodologies that are used during the CPD Certificate programme include:

  • Online Learning Management System - Engineers Ireland’s virtual learning environment allows self-paced learning with particular emphasis on materials which can prime participants to get the most from the classroom sessions and then provide exercises, materials and recommended readings after formal class time.
  • Expert Tutors - all tutors have been selected for their industry expertise, their acknowledged contribution to the profession of engineering and/or their unique knowledge at the forefront of a chosen field.
  • Workplace Mentoring - each student is supported by a workplace mentor to guide and optimise their learning.
  • Team-Based Learning - a dozen or more engineers from different organisations of different sizes from different sectors will take part in each class.
  • Learning Contract Agreements - these are used to ensure the transfer of learning from each module component to the workplace in a manner that allows for a measurable and verifiable improvement in competence.

I thoroughly enjoyed undertaking the CPD Certificate in Professional Engineering. All module components were very relevant and helpful to apply to my work to assist in bridging the skills gap from studying to the working environment. Using the SMART format in the learning contracts provided an excellent sense of achievement during their review at the end of the module and I intend to refer back to these for guidance into the future. Aisling Smith, Graduate Engineer, ESB

The CPD Certificate in Professional Engineering has broadened my knowledge of certain topics, helped develop skills in key areas that are essential for developing a successful career and introduced me to new ways of thinking and skills which I will implement on a continuous basis. Cian Clarke, QC Analyst - Lab Services, Janssen Sciences Ireland

I found the CPD Certificate in Professional Engineering to be quite enjoyable and I feel that I have taken something positive from each day. The tutors were exceptionally knowledgeable in their respective fields and each had very impressive credentials to back up their points. Everyone must begin somewhere and I feel that this experience has been a very beneficial starting point as I begin to develop as a young engineer. Sinclair Dowey, Electrical Engineer, Smart Grid Solutions, ESB International

I found the CPD Certificate in Professional Engineering programme to be thoroughly enjoyable and relevant to my line of work. The skills that were taught during the different module components will be used on a daily basis, both inside and outside of the organisation. I would recommend this course to other professionals who are starting out in their career as it teaches the essential skills needed to be successful in any business.
