Who are eligible to be referees?
The requirements for referees are set out in the Registration Regulation s. 9.1 (3), (4) and (5). You must provide the names and addresses of at least three (3) people who are familiar with your work and can comment, in confidence, to APGO on your capability and suitability for registration and on your character. In the Transitional Period at least one reference must be from a direct supervisor and the three references must cover a cumulative period of 4 years (or 10 years, if applicable) of your work experience. During the initial stage of registration until June 30, 2002, a geoscientist who has applied for membership in APGO is eligible to act as a referee as he or she will have signed the declaration to observe the Act, Regulations and Code of Ethics.
