Fees

Pay your membership subscription fees each year to maintain your membership of the IMechE.

Pay your MPDS registration fees each year upon request (if you did not pay lump sum on registration)

Keep up to date

Meet your mentor regularly. MPDS is all about monitoring and feedback. You must be in regular contact with your mentor to receive the guidance you need.

Keep your reports regularly. Timely reporting is part of the professionalism you adopt on MPDS. Reports should be submitted no more than 8 weeks after the due date.

e-MPDS

Submit all your reports online

Read the user guide (you can download this from “Getting Started” on your e-MPDS log-in)

Read the FAQs on the website

Use the toolkit available under “help” on your e-MPDS log-in.

Remember, e-MPDS is a flexible system: you can just submit quarterly and Annual Assessment reports OR create plans, record evidence, and then submit your quarterly and Annual Assessment reports

Plans and evidence need to be approved by the mentor on e-MPDS before the quarterly report is created for the competence details to map through

Tell us of any changes or problems

If you are experiencing problems that will affect your MPDS, for example your report is going to be late, tell us what is happening. We will be able to advise you if you keep in touch.

Update us with any changes

If you change your mentor, any contact details, or your expected completion date, or if you are taking a career break, email us with the details. If you are changing companies, send a transfer form. There is NO CHARGE to transfer from one accredited scheme to another accredited scheme.

If your Assessment forms are more than 2 months late this may result in you being suspended from the scheme.

Email us outlining any problems if your Assessment is going to be delayed longer than 2 months after due date.

We need to receive in writing (email, letter or fax) if you and your mentor decide on an extension to any phase of the scheme.
