Who elects individuals to the Panel of Examiners?

The Panel of Examiners is primarily selected by the Board of Examiners. This body plays a crucial role in maintaining the standards and integrity of the examination process within the profession. The Board of Examiners is typically composed of individuals with significant experience in the field and is responsible for overseeing various aspects of examinations, including the selection of examiners who assess candidates’ qualifications.

The Board's authority to elect members to the Panel ensures that those chosen have the appropriate qualifications and understanding of the standards required for professional practice. This reinforces the credibility of the examination process and helps ensure that individuals entering the profession meet the necessary competencies.

In contrast, other entities such as the ASET Council, industry representatives, or university deans may have crucial roles in the broader scope of the organization or industry but do not directly elect individuals to the Panel of Examiners. Their influence may be more focused on policy-making, advocacy, or educational standards rather than the specific task of examiner selection.
