6. Colleague Confirmations

The EACOE Certification candidate must personally make sure that colleagues are familiar enough with the candidate's work, and that they are willing, to serve as endorsers for the candidate.  It is recognized that for some Certification candidates, the major contributions have been within his/her organization, and in these cases, colleagues from the organization are the key sources of reliable information, particularly in group efforts.  In such cases the uniqueness of the candidates contribution to the particular Enterprise Architecture program should be emphasized.
