What are the responsibilities of a CEng supporter?

Richard Woodward
I've tried looking around online for this information but have come up short. I'm preparing my application for CEng through the IET and need to put down some names as supporters of my submission, but before I contact the people I have in mind I would like to give them a heads-up on what to expect as a supporter. I know that I need a supporter to sign/confirm my attached documents (degrees, certificates, etc), but other than that I'm not sure what the supporters need to do.


Could someone who has gone through the CEng process, or even if someone has been a supporter for someone else's CEng application, shed some light on what a supporter needs to do, please? Is there a detailed document they need to complete with detailed questions about me, the suportee? Are they added to the application purely as a reference which may or may not be called upon to confirm details from my submission? 


Thanks for any help!

    The one thing that I wold add here is that you should choose a supporter who knows you well and wishes to support your application!


    From what I recall of the form (it was a few years back) it's completely confidential and the support has the opportunity at that point to state if you are ready for CEng or not.  Obviously you wouldn't malicously undermine someones application, that's unprofessional.  But if you did feel that someone wasn't ready but they pressed ahead anyway - then you would say so.


    Of course if I felt that way I would (and have) say so directly to the candidate before they put the application in.
