Personally I would say that 6 weeks is far too long to wait!
Outside holiday times (which the VSU should have been made aware of by the PRA concerned), I always try to get back within 48 hours, at least to give an acknowledgement. Can I suggest you contact the VSU and ask to be reassigned. It may of course be the case that your PRA is taking 6 weeks holiday (lucky devil!!!!). ------------------------- David Parr BSc.CEng MIET PRA |

Its 6 weeks since he agreed to review the form. |

Six weeks is a ridiculously long time. That said, I waited almost a year when I was pursuing CEng, (honest!).
I think some of the time, people take on positions for the 'status' it brings. If he or she can't manage it, they should just resign. This is exactly what gives the IET a bad name. I'm in Aberdeen, otherwise I would have helped out. |
