Your candidate statement can be no more than 600 characters, including spaces and punctuation. For example the phrase "The quick fox." is counted as 11 letters + 2 spaces + 1 full stop = 14 characters.

Your candidate photo

Guidelines for your statement photo:

  • it should be recent
  • colour is preferable
  • portrait orientation
  • a light-coloured neutral background is required (e.g. a plaster wall)
  • clear glasses are OK
  • you're welcome to smile.

Tips:

  • Avoid any cropping or zooming in too close (your shoulders must be showing). The TEC will crop each candidate’s photo to the same dimensions and similar proportions.
  • Don't scan a printed photo.
  • The larger the file size, the better!
