Referrer Confirmation

What this is for

Some membership applications ask for a professional referrer.

If a referrer is provided:

  • the applicant’s order stores the referrer details
  • the referrer may receive an email asking them to confirm the recommendation
  • the referrer can open the confirmation link and submit the requested details

For applicants

If you add a referrer, make sure:

  • their name is correct
  • their email address is correct
  • they know you may be using them as a professional referrer

If the email address is wrong, the referrer may never receive the confirmation request.

For referrers

If you receive a referrer confirmation email, you should:

  1. Open the confirmation link.
  2. Review the applicant details.
  3. Confirm or decline as appropriate.
  4. Add any supporting comments if the form asks for them.

Good to know

  • the referrer does not need to be a SOLAS member to complete the confirmation
  • the confirmation is part of the membership application process, not a separate membership journey
  • SOLAS may still review the application after the referrer has responded

Best next step

Applicants should check referrer details carefully before completing the application. Referrers should complete the confirmation form as soon as possible once the email arrives.
