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.
