British Geotechnical Association
The BGA is the UK's main association for geotechnical engineers, organising key events annually.
If you are considering sitting your Professional Review in the near future, this event will be a unique opportunity to get insight from two experienced geotechnical engineers who are currently ICE Reviewers. Between them, the two ICE Reviewers will discuss how to demonstrate the attributes and present some useful guidance and advice on how to avoid potential pitfalls at the Professional Review.
The presentations will be followed by a short mock interview including a presentation and an interview with recent successful chartered geotechnical engineers. The event will close with a Q & A session.
