1. What services do you offer for ICE Professional Review candidates?
We offer tailored support for candidates preparing for the ICE Professional Review, including detailed submission reviews, mock interviews, and feedback sessions. Our goal is to help candidates refine their documentation, improve their communication skills, and gain confidence for their review.

2. Who would benefit from using your mock review services?
Anyone preparing for their ICE Professional Review, whether at IEng or CEng level, can benefit from our services. Our mock reviews are particularly useful for those who want structured feedback on their submissions and interview technique, especially people without access to mock interviews within their own network.

3. What does a mock review include?
A mock review replicates the real ICE Professional Review process as closely as possible. It includes a document review, a simulated interview with tailored questions, and detailed feedback on areas for improvement.

4. How does your feedback help me improve my submission?
Our reviewers provide clear, actionable feedback on technical content, structure, and clarity. We help identify gaps, strengthen key competencies, and refine how you present your experience.

5. Are your mock reviews conducted in the same way as the real ICE Professional Review?
Yes, we structure our mock reviews to closely reflect the ICE Professional Review format, ensuring candidates get an authentic experience of the assessment process.

6. Do you provide coaching for the interview stage of the ICE Professional Review?
Yes, we offer interview coaching, helping candidates develop clear, concise answers and present their experience effectively.

7. How do I book a mock review, and how far in advance should I schedule one?
You can book a mock review through our website. We recommend scheduling your review at least a few weeks before your ICE Professional Review to allow time for improvements based on feedback. Ideally, we suggest having your mock review around 3 or 4 weeks prior to your review date. This timing ensures you’ve done sufficient preparation and revision, while still allowing time to work on any areas for improvement identified during the review.

8. Is using a mock review service ethical?
Yes, as long as the service operates with integrity, transparency, and fairness. We ensure compliance with the ICE Code of Professional Conduct by providing constructive feedback and guidance without guaranteeing success in the real review.

9. Does using this service give me an unfair advantage over other candidates?
No, our service is similar to preparatory courses or mentorship programs that provide guidance. We focus on helping candidates refine their own work and improve their presentation skills, not providing pre-prepared answers or guaranteed outcomes.

10. Do you guarantee that I will pass my ICE Professional Review if I use your service?
No, passing depends on your own competency and preparedness. We provide expert feedback and guidance to help you strengthen your submission and interview skills, but success ultimately depends on your own abilities and experience.

11. Who conducts the mock reviews, and are they qualified?
Our reviews are conducted by experienced professionals who have successfully passed the ICE Professional Review and have a deep understanding of the process. They are fully qualified to provide constructive and ethical feedback.

12. Are the people conducting mock reviews also involved in assessing real ICE candidates?
No, to avoid conflicts of interest, our reviewers do not participate in official assessments for the ICE. This ensures impartiality and compliance with professional ethical standards.

13. How do you ensure that your service aligns with the ICE Code of Conduct?
We strictly follow professional ethical guidelines by:

• Ensuring all reviewers are qualified and experienced in the ICE review process.

• Providing clear, transparent guidance without misrepresentation or misleading claims.

• Maintaining a separation between mock reviewers and official ICE assessors to prevent conflicts of interest.

14. Are mock reviews allowed by the ICE?
Yes, mock reviews are fully permitted by the ICE as long as they are conducted ethically and without conflicts of interest. In fact, the ICE’s Incorporated and Chartered Professional Review Guidance document actively encourages candidates to undertake mock reviews as part of their preparation as long as candidates' work remains their own.

15. Will using this service impact my credibility with the ICE?
No, preparing thoroughly for your review is a responsible approach to professional development. Our service simply provides structured feedback to help you refine your submission, ensuring you present your experience and competencies effectively.

16. How much does a mock review cost?
Pricing varies depending on the level of support you require. Full pricing details are available on our website.

17. Do you offer package deals for multiple review sessions?
Yes, we offer discounted rates for candidates who book multiple review sessions. Please message us for more details.

18. Do you provide free resources for candidates who may not be able to afford a full mock review?
Yes, we believe in accessibility and offer free guidance materials, blog posts, and webinars to help all candidates prepare effectively.

19. What is your refund policy if I can no longer attend my booked session?
Refunds or rescheduling options are available depending on the notice period provided. Please refer to our terms and conditions for full details.

20. Do you offer virtual mock reviews or only in-person sessions?
We offer only virtual mock reviews to accommodate different preferences and locations.

21. How long does a mock review session last?
A full mock review session typically lasts around 1.5 hours, including the interview and feedback discussion.

22. Can you act as my sponsor for the ICE Professional Review?
No, we only act as sponsors for individuals we know personally and professionally. Acting as a sponsor requires a clear understanding of your work, character, and competencies. To maintain ethical standards and comply with ICE guidance, we will not sponsor candidates we have only supported through mock reviews.

23. Where can I find a suitable sponsor for my ICE application?
Sponsors are typically senior civil engineers who know your work well, such as line managers, mentors, or supervising civil engineers (SCEs). If you're unsure, we recommend speaking to your employer, your SCE (if you're on an approved training scheme), or reaching out through professional networks like ICE regional branches or LinkedIn.
