Is putting letters after your name (such as M.Eng) a criminal offence if you do not have the qualification?

Not really, but it could most definitly lead to civil litigation.  For example, if he changed that to "PE" or anything else that could lead one to believe he's a professional engineer, the Society of Professional Engineers will send a cease and decist letter, and if he doesn't stop, then they will sue the bejeezus out of him.  \n\nIf he put MD, that in and of itself isn't a criminal offense, until he starts treating people.

I dont know of a reference letter however I had to appeal once and I basically told them that I had not been serious about my studies and how I had pressure on me to work to provide for my family but now I was more grounded.  I think they will usually approve you the first time but it is important to improve your grades while on your 'probation'.  Good luck!

well that will depend on what jurisdiction you are in at the time.  basically in most jurisdictions it is a felony and the minor can be a compounding factor (making it worse)\n\n\nThat should be worth 10 points!

Most likely there are some misdemeanors that will disqualify you but  no most. Just be honest when questioned about them especially if they are in your past.

No, but you do have to be born in the U.S.. I'm not sure about having a previous criminal record, perhaps someone can chime in and advise.

Not necessarily.\n\nJust like you wouldn't normally put your educational degrees on your mail.

No, I don't think so! The point is, is that you broke the law. It may be considered but just because your a good person, it doesn't mean that you may be go.

It probably would not be valid. Also, it is consider fraud. He or she should go to jail for it. You must report it and let the police find out if it is true or not.

Hey, my initials are "BL", does that count?

It depends on the state, but it is usually a misdemeanor.  I've included a couple of definition links below.\n\nEDIT: I see the previous poster has taken a fancy to copying my links....

No.... even if you get it expunged.. you would have to report it on your application.  And if you lie and put no, they will eventually find out and you will get bounced and maybe charged criminally.

The best rule of thumb is not to spell these things out. Understate the qualification and people will probably still get what you have. Overstating it can seem a bit OTT  :-)

If you only have this caution, and no other convictions, it will appear on your Police National Computer list of preconvictions for five years from the date of the offence.  This means that if you are arrested in the future, the police, Crown Prosecution Service and possibly the National Probation Service will be able to look this information up.  \n\nHowever, in terms of employment and disclosure, you usually only have to declare actual *convictions* when requested to do so, and in most cases you don't even have to do this if the conviction is "spent".  So if you're worried about who you would have to tell about the caution, the answer is no-one unless you choose to do so.

In some jurisdictions, it stands for "A Violation of Probation".  I don't know about Massachusetts.

Yes. Under the enhanced disclousure procedures any potential employer will get a police record search which will show any convictions, charges, cautions or suspisions. It would then be up to an employer if they wished to employ you. They are likely to ask the nature of the offecece, when it was and the background. Given it is a serious crime of violence they are likely to ask you about this before offering any employment as they have to be sure you are able and fit to work with children

Hi Jacq,\n\nI have not heard of this, but if that is the case then you do have extenuating circumstances and that would be given full consideration.\n\nI suggest you contact the Guildford School of Law. They will have all the info you need.\n\nGood luck.
