The Professional Development Program (PDP)

Click here and here for the PDP agreements.

The Professional Development Program (PDP) is one of the four pathways that Engineers Australia offers for members to achieve Chartered Status. The PDP is the best way for individuals and for organisations to support their employees, to work through the Chartered application requirements in a structured and supported process. Engineers Australia's national president, at the time, Professor Andrew Downing signed the professional development program (PDP) agreement in 2005. Perfect Engineering is committed to continue this program and this agreement is still current.

The initial PDP agreement with Perfect Engineering was signed by the company's managing director Dr George Melhem.
