• Mandatory: a supporter who knows or has known you professionally, working at a senior level to you and with direct knowledge of your role and responsibilities, such as your current line manager, employer, Academic Supervisor, or Training Scheme Coordinator.  You must detail your relationship with your mandatory supporter

• Preferred: as well as the mandatory requirement, it is preferable, but not mandatory, for a candidate to have an additional supporter, who is an Engineering Council or international equivalent registered engineer.   This person would be a Member, or Fellow, of either the IET or another Professional Engineering Institute (PEI).

• A second and third supporter is optional and may be necessary, for example, if you work on contracts, as an additional signature to enable adequately verified periods for your employment.

HI,
Your supporters do not have to be professionally registered, what is more important is that they work in a senior position (typically your line manager) and they know your work well enough to confirm that how you have described yourself is correct.
