The experience requirements have been designed to factor in career breaks. You can meet the the experience requirement by having undertaken the equivalent of 10 years full-time work in the relevant area(s) of engineering in the previous 15 years.
If an individual does not meet the experience requirements in terms of the number of years within the specified periods, an assessment entity may still consider that the individual has sufficient experience to be deemed competent to provide professional engineering services without direct supervision. In determining this, an assessment entity will consider the individuals professional engineering experience and how it was gained.
