Cheers for the info I'll pass it on. I had told my mate not to worry about his oral too much as he had already done the hard bit by passing the written. He had a different surveyer to the one that I had, also at a differnt regional office, unfortunately for my pal his surveyer took a slightly different approach to the exam than mine. I suppose all he can do now is wait for the envelope, I am sure Engineer licensing will inform him of his next step. I just thought I would ask to get a bit of a 'heads up' for him. cheers.
