Have your views on Professional Registration changed since you started this journey?

Yes, it has indeed changed with time. I realized that attaining the professional status is not the end of the journey, but in fact it is the beginning of it all. You're expected to maintain the status through continuous development and to abide by the rules and conducts of the council.
How has your career been impacted by your Professional Registration journey?

The process itself was time consuming but had a lot of lessons in it. For instance, report writing was one of the tasks that really helped me to reflect on how I work on a daily basis. So one does feel the sense of belonging once attained the professional registration. Therefore, I am accountable to my profession through my services and conduct.

Would you advise Construction/Built Environment Professionals to embark on this journey?

Yes, I believe it should be a goal for every built environment professional to register with their respective councils. An individual who is not accountable to anyone but him/herself is not only dangerous to the clients but to the profession at large.
