Dear
The candidate named above is making an application to the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining for the professional grade(s) stated and has named you as a referee. Referees must be able to validate the candidate’s current level of competence and responsible experience, and have known them for at least two (2) years; requirements which I hope you are able to satisfy.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could complete the attached pro-forma referee form. Please answer all questions with as much detail as necessary, preferably avoiding one-word answers. Once the form is completed it can either be handed back to the candidate who will submit it to the Institute, or you can submit it directly yourself. Please note that we prefer submission by email. If clarification is required on any of your responses, I hope you do not mind being contacted by us in due course.
Our Membership Committee will consider your comments when reaching a decision on the candidate’s application.
I would like to draw your attention to the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 which allow people access to the personal information held on them. Under this Act the candidate could request to see the comments you make about them.
Thank you very much for your time and for helping us in this vital professional assessment process.
Yours sincerely
Ian Bowbrick
