CIVIL ENGINEERING TRAINING SCHEME
1. Welcome Statement from the Director
Infrastructure Services developed as a Directorate in early 2011. This brought
together two high performing Departments – with a strong reputation and
focus on service delivery. A key aspect of this strength is the staff and within
that, ensuring that there is a strong culture of staff development.
The Civil Engineering Training Scheme is provided to create the right skills
and culture to enable civil engineering staff to undertake their roles in support
of the Council’s priorities and service objectives.
In providing this training the Council is also investing in staff for the future – for
theirs and the Council’s improvement journey. In participating in this Scheme,
you will receive all the necessary support and direction to ensure your
progress through your professional career. As with all such training – it is
down to you to make sure it is a success. Indeed, the old adage of “attitude”
is very much to the fore. The more you put into a scheme, the more you get
out of it.
The Scheme is deemed to be compliant with the guidance issued by the UK
Engineering Council.
Key to your success is the dialogue you have with your support managers.
Again, it is a two-way process, with communication being of high importance.
This Scheme needs to equip you for the future, provide the Council with staff
with the right skills and also represent an enjoyable and indeed exciting time
in your career.
I wish you well and hope that you will enter into this Scheme with energy and
enthusiasm. In return we will provide you with all the support possible,
allowing you to develop and flourish both professionally and within your role at
Aberdeenshire Council.
Good Luck!

3. Our Policy for Staff Development
Aberdeenshire Council values all staff and will listen to, consult with, and
support staff to do their best to serve the people of Aberdeenshire, and to be
proud to work for the Council.
To enable staff to deliver first class services the Council is committed to the
training and development of all employees. Therefore all training and
development is delivered under the umbrella of the corporate Trainee
Development and Training Policy.
The Trainee Development and Training Policy aims to ensure that
development and training provision is planned, delivered and monitored on the
basis of equality of access for all.
To achieve the policy and aims outlined previously will require a partnership
agreement between the organisation and its employees. Aberdeenshire
Council is committed to becoming a learning organisation supporting a
workforce of lifelong learners.
The learning organisation framework consists of the following four elements:
Enablers (policy, strategy, leadership, people management processes and
the use of information technology)
Environment (supportive culture, a learning climate and organisational
team working)
Learning (individual learning, team learning and organisation learning)
Results (improved “business” results).
As outlined above we want all our staff to reach their potential – both
personally and professionally – including the achievement of professional
qualifications in their chosen field.
Our corporate approach to staff development is supported through our annual
Employee Development and Review Scheme (EAR).
Your training progress will be taken into account in these reviews when
assessing your career progress and when agreeing your job-related, personal
and professional goals.
We expect that you will want to become professionally qualified quickly and
we will support you in achieving this goal. You must of course play your part,
not least in working in partnership with your Supervising Civil Engineer,
Delegated Engineer, and Mentor and keeping your training records up to date.

4. Engineering Council UK (ECUK)
The current basis of national qualifications for engineers in the UK is the
ECUK document UK-Spec (available on www.engc.org.uk). This defines the
required Educational Base and Competencies required to register with the
ECUK as a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or
Engineering Technician (EngTech).
(Note that the designatory letters CEng, IEng and EngTech come from
registration with ECUK. So, if you do not keep up your ECUK registration by
payment of the annual fee, you will no longer legally be able to use the ECUK
letters.)
UK-Spec says that:
“Chartered Engineers are characterised by their ability to develop
appropriate solutions to engineering problems, using new or existing
technologies, through innovation, creativity and change. They might
develop and apply new technologies, promote advanced designs and
design methods, introduce new and more efficient production
techniques, marketing and construction concepts, or pioneer new
engineering services and management methods. Chartered Engineers
are variously engaged in technical and commercial leadership and
possess effective interpersonal skills.”
and
“Incorporated Engineers maintain and manage applications of current
and developing technology, and may undertake engineering design,
development, manufacture, construction and operation. Incorporated
Engineers are variously engaged in technical and commercial
management and possess effective interpersonal skills.”
and
“Engineering Technicians are concerned with applying proven
techniques and procedures to the solution of practical engineering
problems. They carry supervisory or technical responsibility, and are
competent to exercise creative aptitudes and skills within defined fields
of technology. Professional Engineering Technicians contribute to the
design, development, manufacture, commissioning, decommissioning,
operation or maintenance of products, equipment, processes or
services. Professional Engineering Technicians are required to apply
safe systems of working.”
Civil Engineering Training Scheme 8 March 2012
Trainee Name Agreement Number
Infrastructure Services
This scheme has been designed to allow you to demonstrate the attributes
required to achieve registration with ECUK at the appropriate level.
Registration with ECUK is achieved through successful completion of a
Professional Review with an appropriate Institution. Your ability to
demonstrate the appropriate attributes will be fully tested at the Professional
Review.
Throughout the life of the Training Agreement, progress will be monitored and
assessed by the nominated Supervising Civil Engineer (SCE).
Following completion of the Training Agreement and gaining suitable
experience, you will be encouraged to undertake a Professional Review with
an appropriate Professional Institution.
5. Getting Started
Your initial entry into the Training Scheme will be influenced by your current
academic qualifications. During your first meeting with your SCE you will be
advised of the most appropriate grade of Professional Qualification to aim for,
depending on your academic qualifications and the role you have been
employed to fulfil within the organisation.
We are committed to staff development and feel that membership of an
appropriate Professional Institution is essential. The choice of Institution is a
personal decision and a selection of appropriate bodies is included in
Appendices 7 to 9 to assist you.
This Training Scheme has been designed to allow you to gain the experience
required to be fully prepared to meet the requirements of the Engineering
Council and a range of appropriate Professional Institutions.
Your academic qualifications can be upgraded if necessary by additional
approved academic study or Further Learning.
6. Approved Training
The period of professional training and experience before a Professional
Review is known as Initial Professional Development (IPD). The first part of
IPD – obtaining a breadth of experience and completing the Development
Objectives – can be achieved by self-guided experience but it is best (and
more quickly) achieved through completion of the Training Scheme Training
Agreement.
The big advantage of enrolling in the Training Scheme is that you have direct
access to a senior civil engineer with the organisation who will provide
personal supervision and advice during your training – and who will ensure
that you are exposed to the right opportunities. By meeting regularly with your
Civil Engineering Training Scheme 9 March 2012
Trainee Name Agreement Number
Infrastructure Services
Supervising Civil Engineer (SCE), you can plan ahead for what you need to
do next. At the Training Review meeting with your SCE, you can discuss and
plan your training requirements and work experience for the year or so ahead.
The first step in the Training Scheme is to meet with your SCE to have a
general discussion about your academic background, previous experience,
hopes and aspirations and personal and professional goals. Your immediate
Line Manager will assist you in arranging to meet your SCE. The SCE may
introduce you to a Delegated Engineer (DE) who will be appointed to provide
the day-to-day supervision and monitoring of your training on the SCE’s
behalf. The DE will be chosen to meet your individual requirements, and may
change as you progress through this agreement. A Mentor will also be
appointed to provide the day-to-day supporting role.
As with any large organisation the roles and responsibilities undertaken by
specific staff varies with time. Appendix 2 details the current members of staff
who fulfil specific roles in relation to the Training Scheme.
You are expected to take the initiative in your training – not wait passively for
things to happen. You should record what you do and what you learn on a
regular basis. This will allow you to provide your SCE with documentary
evidence to demonstrate your progressive achievement of the Development
Objectives.
7. The Training Scheme Training Agreement
Before signing your Training Scheme Training Agreement, your SCE may ask
you to produce a review of your career to date. The Training Agreement has
no fixed duration or ‘target’ end date so it is largely up to you how quickly you
complete yours. As a guide completion of the required Development Objective
is likely to take in the order of 36 months.
The Training Agreement Declaration is to be signed by you and your SCE. A
copy of this form will be retained by the SCE and the original will remain with
you. A copy of the Training Agreement Declaration can be found in Appendix
3.
Please keep the original form safely with your records.
The Training Agreement is an agreement between Aberdeenshire Council,
represented by the SCE, and you, the trainee. There are mutual obligations.
The SCE signs (on behalf of Aberdeenshire Council) to confirm that:
the Council will provide you with the opportunities for appropriate
training. This will normally include a period, or periods, of “placement”
within the different sections outlined in Section 2. Periods of placement
Civil Engineering Training Scheme 10 March 2012
Trainee Name Agreement Number
Infrastructure Services
will depend on current workloads and your training requirements, but in
general will tend to be for around nine months.
and that:
your continued placement on the Training Scheme will depend on
satisfactory work and conduct, and on conditions of business allowing
training to be provided.
You sign to confirm that:
you will undertake to draw full benefit from the opportunities
provided….and observe the advice of your SCE.
and that:
you will record your work in the Personal Development Portfolio.
If you don’t play your part, don’t be surprised if you fall behind.
After completing your Training Agreement and gaining the necessary
experience, your next goal is to undertake a Professional Review. Although
we want you to become professionally qualified as soon as possible, we want
you to be well-prepared when you do – and to have the full support of your
SCE and other Sponsors. This period of consolidation and preparation is the
time to look again at the attributes against which you will be assessed at your
Professional Review and ensure that your total experience meets (or
preferably exceeds) the requirements of all the attributes. See Appendices 7
to 9 for further guidance on the requirements of the appropriate Institutions.
Your SCE is still available to advise you about the increasing levels of
professional competence expected of you in preparation for the Review. Your
SCE will also help you to test yourself against the attributes and give you
opportunities to rehearse your presentation.
You should be aware that many Professional Institutions provide alternative
routes to Professional Review that are not based around a formal Training
Agreement. However we consider this agreement to provide you with the
ideal environment to progress towards your Professional Review.
8. Training Activities
Working for Aberdeenshire Council, you will participate in real work on real
projects, not training exercises. Your time will normally be charged to your
project. Your professional contribution will be important to our work – and
hopefully grow to be more important as time goes by.
Civil Engineering Training Scheme 11 March 2012
Trainee Name Agreement Number
Infrastructure Services
You can expect to be supervised, instructed and guided in your work by
experienced Chartered or Incorporated Engineers. They will aim to ensure
that the experience available to you meets both the needs of the projects and
contributes to your Development Objectives.
The Development Objectives within this Training Scheme have been created
to demonstrate that you have developed the skills and attributes required by
Aberdeenshire Council. In addition, the Development Objectives have been
checked against the Engineering Council UK-Spec and against the
requirements of appropriate Institutions. It is our view that the completion of
the Training Scheme Training Agreement will assist in your progression
towards a Professional Review.
Internal Service transfers and section rotation will be necessary to ensure that
all your Development Objectives can be met. As a reminder, an overview of
the different sections within the IS Service is given in Section 2.
The scheme has been devised in such a manner as to normally require a
period of placement in at least ONE other section, however ideally a period of
placement in TWO other sections should be aimed for.
Aberdeenshire Council has partnership arrangements with a wide range of
external companies, and agencies, working in the civil engineering field. From
time to time opportunities arise that offer external secondments. If felt
appropriate this mechanism may be used to assist you in achieving your
Development Objectives.
We will plan for these as required, and opportunities emerge – but don’t forget
that our primary concern is to develop and maintain high quality Infrastructure
Services services within Aberdeenshire, and that we are expected to deliver
this in an efficient manner. Therefore while we will endeavour to offer rotation
on a nominal nine month basis there may be instances where you may be
needed to work on the project for a little while longer.
There is no requirement that trainees must spend minimum periods of time
based either in a design office or on a construction site – although experience
of both will help trainees with their Development Objectives. However, it is
expected that most trainees will spend some time on site.
As has been said above, the Development Objectives can be met through a
wide range of experience. Please take advantage of all the opportunities that
come along. You will get more support from your SCE, DE and team leaders if
you look positively on new learning opportunities that also help to support the
organisation.
9. Continuing Professional Development
Civil Engineering Training Scheme 12 March 2012
Trainee Name Agreement Number
Infrastructure Services
You will learn a lot of new things very quickly at the start of your career. It is to
your advantage, and indeed expected by many Professional Institutions, that
you maintain a personal commitment to Continuing Professional
Development (CPD) throughout your professional life.
As outlined in Section 3, we are committed to developing staff to reach their
full potential and to maintain and extend their knowledge and skills. CPD is
part of our strategy to deliver this.
It is suggested that you maintain a Development Action Plan, a sample
format is given in Appendix 4. However you should also check the particular
requirements of your chosen Institution to ensure you meet their membership
requirements. This plan sets out your goals and priorities for the coming year,
however it is wise to ensure this is updated regularly to ensure it reflects your
current circumstances. It enables you to plan your CPD to meet your
personal, professional and technical needs.
During your period of training you must record all your CPD in a Personal
Development Record (PDR). This should be in the format shown in
Appendix 4.
The minimum amount of CPD that is required to complete your Training
Agreement is set out in Appendix 4. In addition you should check the
requirements of the Institution with which you have chosen.
You are expected to take advantage of all CPD opportunities and to seek
other ways of achieving – and exceeding – the requirements. You can discuss
with your SCE or DE how you plan to do this. Suitable activities outside work
(or even outside civil engineering) can contribute to CPD.
You must pay particular attention to Health, Safety and Welfare.
You are expected to support and take part in activities organised by
Aberdeenshire Council, particularly the Trainee Discussion Group. Further
information relating to the Trainee Discussion Group can be found in Appendix
6.
Other opportunities are usually offered by a range of Institutions and you
should take advantage of these, particularly those organised by the local
Graduates and Students sections.
CPD can also be gained through careers activities with schools. We support a
range of engineering ambassador schemes and you will be expected to take
part in these schemes as opportunities arise.
As you can see CPD is not just about attending courses. Opportunities for
appropriate CPD will emerge from a wide range of sources and more
information is included in Appendix 4.

10. Reports and Records
Keeping records is an important personal discipline and a requirement of
professional practice. Keeping records of your training is vital if you are to
make rapid progress.
Your SCE will expect you to produce reports on a quarterly basis. These will
form the basis of your regular meetings with your SCE or DE. These meetings
may be delayed if your records are not up-to-date.
Your Quarterly Reports should cover what you have done, what you have
learned and which of the Development Objectives have been achieved.
Ideally a Quarterly Report should be clear and concise, and would normally be
around 1,000 words in length.
Your SCE or DE will give you valuable feedback on each report – and expect
to see improvements next time!
These regular reports also provide an invaluable tool with regard to forward
planning – for the short or medium-term future – in conjunction with your SCE
and/or DE. They will need to know what you want to do and what help you
may need. The report is the place to tell them what these things are. The
reports produced in the previous year also provide the basis for discussions at
your Annual Appraisal with your SCE.
As well as providing information to the SCE and/or DE to gauge your progress
and up coming needs, these reports provide you with valuable practice in
writing about your achievements and about technical matters in a clear and
informative way.
In the longer term these reports will also provide you with background notes
for the reports you will be required to write for your Professional Review.
Further guidance and information on the development of Quarterly Reports
and what these should contain is provided in Appendix 5.
11. Links to our Employee Annual Review Scheme (EAR)
Your Development Action Plan can include items from our normal EAR
process and vice versa. Your regular reviews with your training supervisors
and our annual EAR process will support one another. Both should be used to
ensure that you map out your requirements for your next period of training.
If necessary, your SCE can be consulted before your EAR interview about
your training progress.

12. Links to our Career Development Scheme
Within IS, a Career Development Scheme is operated for civil engineering
staff. The stages within the Career Grade Scheme have been designed to
reflect progress through this Training Agreement. Your Supervising Civil
Engineer, Delegated Engineer, or Mentor, will be on hand to provide more
information and advice on your progression through the Career Grade
Scheme.
13. Roles and Responsibilities
As part of the Training Agreement, the Council will:
Provide you with a training scheme as set out in this document (the
Scheme).
Provide you with a SCE who will supervise your training and meet with
you on a regular basis. The SCE may delegate certain aspects of
supervision to a DE.
Provide you with a Mentor to provide the day-to-day supporting role.
If applicable, pay for the registration of your Training Agreement with an
appropriate Professional Institution.
Provide opportunities for you to gain the experience and training you
need to achieve the Development Objectives in the Scheme.
Pay for approved, off-the-job, in-house or external training courses to
help you meet your CPD requirements. Training to be identified
through the EAR process in the normal way.
Provide additional opportunities for learning through other activities.

14. Development Objectives
The Development Objectives are comprehensive in their coverage.
The Development Objectives can be downloaded in Word format from
Arcadia. You can therefore record your achievement either electronically or by
hand in the space provided, although electronically would be preferred. Use
as much space as you need and add additional sheets as required.
You can refer to other reports or project documents, but provide at least a
summary of them here to support your claim to competence.
The Development Objectives have been structured in such a way as to allow
you to demonstrate competency as you progress through your career. Each
Development Objective has a minimum level of attainment to be reached,
however this should be regarded as a minimum and you should strive to
exceed it if opportunities permit.
Each Development Objective attainment level has been set in accordance with
the following scale:
A Appreciation You must appreciate why the DO is important and
why it is done.
K Knowledge You must have a basic understanding and
knowledge of the DO and how it is achieved.
E Experience You must have achieved the DO, or part of it,
working under supervision.
B Ability You must have achieved the DO several times in
different situations, having the competence to assist
others and to work without supervision.
To get started, use the wording of each Objective, plus the examples, to
identify what you have to demonstrate. Think carefully, broadly and creatively
about each Objective. Make use of everything you have done. Then think
about the evidence you can provide of what you have done and learned. Any
experience, in any area of work, paid or voluntary and in any location, can or
may contribute to your achievement of the Objectives.
If necessary, carry out private research on topics not directly covered by your
work (this can count as CPD as well).
Civil Engineering Training Scheme 17 March 2012
Trainee Name Agreement Number
Infrastructure Services
Be positive about what you know and set out to convince your SCE or DE
about your competence. It is your responsibility to provide the evidence
appropriate to the achievement level (A K E B) required.
Review your achievements regularly – and start early. When you believe you have
an ‘awareness’ or ‘knowledge’ of the content of an Objective, write out your evidence
and ask your SCE or DE to assess it. They can then confirm your progressive
achievement by writing the date in the appropriate box under ‘Date of assessment’.
This evidence of progressive assessment is a good indication of regular monitoring of
your training.

Appendix 4 Continuing Professional Development and Development Action
Plan
Introduction
Within the engineering sector the recognised definition of CPD is:
“The systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skills,
and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of
professional and technical duties throughout your working life.”
During the period of this Training Agreement you will be required to undertake at
least 5 days CPD annually. This investment in the development of your knowledge
and skill base will stand you in good stead for undertaking your Professional Review.
CPD does not stop on successful completion of a Professional Review and most, if
not all, Professional Institutions will have requirements in relation to CPD for your
entire career.
The Development Action Plan (DAP) and Personal Development Record (PDR) are
essential documents for the period of this Training Scheme, and may prove useful
templates for the remainder of your professional career.
Development Action Plan
The DAP is effectively divided into two sections:
The first, the Review of Learning Needs provides you with a structured way of
assessing your current performance and identifying areas where additional learning
is required.
The second, the Development Plan provides you with a structured way of planning
how you will achieve these additional learning needs, what other resources will be
required, and in what timescale you can achieve them. Importantly the Development
Plan also requires you to think about how you will evaluate the outcome of any
further learning.
This process is closely linked to the Council’s Employee Development and Review
Scheme (EAR) and the information contained within the DAP can be used to inform
this review process.
It is suggested that the DAP is reviewed quarterly with your DE or Mentor, with a
more detailed review being carried out annually with input from your SCE.
CPD Personal Development Record
As outlined above it is important that you set criteria for assessing the outcome from
any further learning. The Personal Development Record provides you with a
template to record your CPD and, as importantly, to record what you learned and the
benefits that the training added.

To complete the virtuous review cycle the PDR should also be used to identify what
further learning may be required with this information being used to inform reviews of
your DAP.
Example of CPD Opportunities
Historically CPD has been regarded as attending specific courses or structured
learning events. Although there is no doubt that such events are extremely useful
and indeed contribute to CPD, there are numerous other ways in which CPD can be
gained, such as:
Learning on the job
Peer guidance and discussion
In-house presentations
Participation in working groups, and Corporate improvement initiatives
Attending trade exhibitions and systematically gathering information and
knowledge to develop professionally
Structured reading (test your understanding of the reading material)
Work shadowing to add to your store of knowledge and expertise for routine
tasks
Promoting engineering in primary and secondary schools
Technical presentations
Writing reports/writing for publication
Preparation of CPD presentations to colleagues and other professionals
Exposure to new situations at work which require action
Participating in careers conventions
Job secondment
Attendance at Regional ICE events
Watching training videos and television programmes
Listening to training audio tapes and viewing CD-Roms for research purposes
and technical information
Participating in Institution activities such as acting as a Reviewer, a Student
Liaison Officer or membership of Committees where new initiatives and ideas
are discussed
Sharing knowledge and expertise with others
Attending allied professions events
Acting as a coach or mentor for a fellow professional
Lecturing at organised events
Research both on the job and for further qualification
Self-study through reading textbooks or study packs
Personal learning from the internet
Validated and Accredited qualifications
Formal distance and open learning courses
Attendance on courses, conferences, seminars and workshops

Appendix 5 Quarterly Reports
Introduction
As outlined in Section 10, reports will be required on a quarterly basis.
The purpose of the Quarterly Report process is to prepare, on a regular basis, a library of
ideas and methods, for you to use as a first source of reference when repeating tasks in
the future. Without this structured recording, much of the philosophy, and many of the
clever methods you have developed and learnt, will be forgotten.
The Quarterly Report is therefore not just a task imposed by your training agreement, but
a career development tool for use throughout your work. Its use can be extended beyond
civil engineering activities. The discipline will also help you to develop your report writing
skills, and as explained below will enable you to plan your future experience.
Approach
If you prepare the reports with the intention of creating something for your own benefit,
you will include the important facts together with supporting sketches, calculations, and
photographs where appropriate, and the unnecessary padding will be omitted.
Your reports will not read like a diary and will be more interesting to other readers….such
as your Supervising Civil Engineer (SCE), Delegated Engineer (DE) or Mentor.
They are your reports for your future use, so should include items that are of use and
interest to you.
The length of the report is your decision. The most common length of report is 1000 to
1200 words plus appendices, but this will vary with the level of experience gained during
the period. If you write too little, you will not cover all the detail that you will want to refer
to later. If you write too much, you will eventually have difficulty finding the information in
the mass of accumulated paper.
The format of the report should also be your own choice, decided by your preferred
method of reference. Whether you handwrite or word process is your choice. You are
however recommended to leave a generous margin (say 5cm) on the right-hand side for
annotation by whomever you ask to read and offer comment on the report. As you
prepare the report, think how you will want to store and retrieve the information in, say,
five years time, and let this determine your format.
The report should be passed to your DE for informal comment and to the SCE for final
comment. The report will be returned to you for your future development needs.

Appendix 6 Trainee Discussion Group
The Service runs a Trainee Discussion Group that discusses topics relevant to Civil
Engineering within Aberdeenshire Council, and society in general.
The group exists for the benefit of staff on the Training Agreement, and as such you will be
required to attend and participate in these group meetings.
The content, and style, of the group is dictated by the needs of those on Training
Agreements, and you should take full advantage of this flexibility to ensure that topics
covered are ones that are useful for your career progression.
As these groups are of a less formal nature trainees will be expected to contribute to the
organisation and administration of meetings. This is done on a rotational basis and you
should actively seek the opportunity to take on this additional responsibility as part of your
professional development.
Trainees should note that in order to obtain benefit from these group meetings,
considerable background research will require to be undertaken. The success of these
meetings depends of attendees being well briefed and being willing to actively contribute.
These meetings also provide an ideal opportunity for trainees to gain experience in making
formal presentations, to a group of their peers. As you progress towards your Professional
Review the opportunity to gather feedback on your presentation is extremely valuable and
you should schedule a presentation to this group into the preparation for your review.
It should be stressed that the Trainee Discussion Groups are run for the benefit of
you, the trainee, and that you will only get out what you are willing to put in.

The ICE have derived a set of Development Objectives which are detailed in ICE 3005. A
considerable amount of work has been undertaken to ensure that the Development
Objectives contained with the Aberdeenshire Council scheme cover at least the same
range of issues as detailed in the ICE scheme.
The matrix on the following pages will go some way to explaining how the Aberdeenshire
Council Development Objectives can be used to demonstrate attainment of the ICE
requirements.
Your SCE, DE or Mentor will be in a position to offer further advice on the operation of the
Aberdeenshire Council Training Scheme with regard to compliance with the requirement
