There can hardly be a better combination of authors to help you through this difficult hurdle in your career.

PLEASE NOTE: The guidance in this booklet does not attempt to teach you how to become a Civil Engineer! There is no substitute for hard-won, real-world knowledge and experience, but the tips and advice we provide can help you to demonstrate your abilities effectively, and allow you to reach your full potential in your Professional Report, presentation, interview and written exercise on the Professional Review day.
How much does it cost?
The TCEE ICE Professional Review Guidance Pack is on sale for just £60, which represents only a small portion of the ICE exam fees, but aims to save you plenty of time in your review preparations and also help you avoid common mistakes which cause failure. (You definitely do not want to take the ICE Review more times than you need!)
