I am in the process of creating an application for September '17. I am a qualified primary school teacher in Ireland and am in my 3rd year of teaching. I have been working in the same school since I graduated and am worried that I won't be able to provide 3  referees. My current principal really is my only relevant option. Anyone else in a similar situation?

    Hello Andrea;
    Welcome to the forum and great question. We recommend our teachers to provide us with 3 references, this can be past or present. If you are unable to provide all 3, I recommend you to add in as many as available to you. Certainly, add in your principal and if we required more information, in the later stages of your application, we will let you know

    Good luck with your applications
    Shirin

    My reference did not receive her request, it went it her work email. My other references received their request but it went to their personal email. I resent her the request again. What are next steps if she doesn't receive it?

    Hello Jamila;

    Welcome to the forum! We hope that she receives the form this time and please let your reference know to check their spam folder as well as the email will contain a link and it might be filtered. With these in mind they should receive it as have the others.

    In case, she did not, I recommend you to resubmit the reference to her personal email
    Best,
    Shirin

    Hi, I canceled a reference request moments after I entered and pressed "request reference". Will an email still be sent?

    Hi Karma,

    Yes, an email still would have been sent.

    Thanks,
