Guidance for Referees

Applicants are requested to nominate referees to support their application. References are required to validate an applicants identity and also to establish that the level of membership applied for is relevant, based on education, experience, training and ultimately competencies within the appropriate field of employment or activity.

A referee should be a person who is known to the applicant and who is able to confirm the applicant’s hands on work, education and competencies.
