I asked a similar question of my immediate colleagues and wider department.
Allowing for those who have already passed the exams and those who are already attained IRSE corporate membership, there was a surprising response ...
... but not a good one ...
4 colleagues expressed interest ... but 3 of these responded along the lines of ''I did not know IRSE offered exams'' along with ''where can I find more'', so I pointed them to both the official IRSE site and to this site.
But I wonder if the ''we did not know about this'' replies are a key to lack on interest in these modules ?

You may be right; however I remember reading in IRSE News about a year ago that efforts to revive and produce study material was underway. The way things are going on NR at least with FTN, GSM-R and who knows one day even ETCS I think that it is becoming much more important even for pure "signal engineers" to have an appreciation of telecomms in a way that was far less so 30 years ago when I came into industry.......
