Exams - Cooperman - 12-03-2012
Hi,
New to IRSE Exam Forum but not really that new to Railway Signalling.
My history.. Trainee Tech. 1991 - Brighton is where it all begain, then after a few years and grades later off to London Bridge as a Box TO, then over to Clapham as a SMA, then up to Derby Asst. SME now in the Technical Investigations Centre at Crewe.
I had a stab at the exams in 1998 passed the Safety Paper but that was all, then life took over and now looking at getting those other three papers, so hopefully this is the year!
This forum looks good already found a few workshops I will probably attend!
Thanks
Steve

Welcome
Not sure how the rules work for papers taken in the past, but it used to be that you had to pass four modules in a three year window. That was scrapped a couple of years ago, but I don't know whether that was for modules taken from then on, or whether if you had done one a while ago that it still counts. Probably a good idea to check with the exam office.

Given that the pass rate years back was 50% and irt is now 22%, you can be thankful that this is the one that you have "in the bag"!
