The image and status of aeronautical engineers is determined by the manner in which aeronautical engineers conduct themselves in society (both individually and collectively) and the future of the profession will to a large degree depend on the qualities of individuals entering the profession.
In preparing an CE for registration, the ultimate result of the Mentor's actions is ensuring the ongoing sustainability of the profession, and consequently the image and status that aeronautical engineers will have in the future.
Therefore, in order to obtain adequate experience at the required level for the candidate engineer to fully develop the necessary practical and professional skills for registration, the length of the actual training period may exceed the minimum period of three years, depending on the circumstances in each case.
