As part of the application process, referees are required to provide comments in their own words that demonstrate the applicant’s knowledge, experience and professional capability. Referee comments must include examples or observations that support the applicant’s suitability for the membership grade being sought. A simple statement of support is not sufficient and may result in the application being referred back for further information.
