Module 3 & 5 Examination Workshop

Date: 14/15th July 2012

Venue: Signet Solutions Training Centre, Derby

With the kind support of Signet Solutions, the IRSE Younger Members are pleased to invite you to this study event aimed at students studying for Modules 3 or 5 of the IRSE exam. The general format of the event will be to look at specific exam questions that have been attempted by candidates and to provide feedback throughout the weekend. This will be accompanied by practical demonstrations of various technologies which are examined in Module 5. Both of modules 3 and 5 will be covered on both days of the event, with a blend of formal “teaching”, group discussions and individual feedback on attempted questions. Candidates for either module are therefore advised to attend on both days.

In order to ensure that the workshop is developed to maximise the benefit to you, participants are requested to complete three questions from Module 3 and/or Module 5 of the 2011 IRSE Exam. Your attempted questions should be emailed to padraic.dunne@invensysrail.com by 22nd June 2012. You may choose to undertake this as a timed mock exam or in more relaxed conditions according to your state of preparation and experience; we emphasise we are looking for a serious attempt which shows commitment, rather than necessarily attaining a particular quality standard. If there are any specific issues you would like covered please indicate them on your response and we will try to accommodate these during the workshop.

Thanks to our sponsors, Signet Solutions, the event is free to attend and a buffet lunch will be provided. Attendees should arrange their own travel and any necessary accommodation; it is traditional that the group adjourns for drinks and a meal after the Saturday meeting which adds a social dynamic to this event.

Places at this event are limited and an early registration is recommended. Priority will be given to candidates who submit attempted past paper answers beforehand. To register your interest in attending please e-mail: padraic.dunne@invensysrail.com advising whether you are able to attend the Saturday, Sunday or both.

Note the event will focus on the attempts to the questions which are received. There is not a lot of time until the deadline, but (at least in theory) 2 questions should only take you one hour. If you can't find that sort of time in a fortnight then you'll not going to be able to get yourself ready for sitting the exam in October!

Whereas we'd expected that it would have been those who had just discovered that they hadn't passed in 2010 who attended, but this wasn't predominantly the case.

The Mod2/3 event held in July was less popular than previous years, but actually was probably more productive than normal given the lower numbers and the requirement for those who attended to have previously attempted a mock paper.

The Mod 5 event also seems much less popular than similar events in previous years, for reasons that are not known.

Hence would welcome any thoughts re:
a) the modules
b) the location
c) the timing
d) the degree of "exam focus"
that we should aim for next year?]]> The Mod1/7 event held in March was extremely popular, so was considerably over-subscribed. Whereas we'd expected that it would have been those who had just discovered that they hadn't passed in 2010 who attended, but this wasn't predominantly the case.
