Thanks for the response Jerry, greatly appreciated.
My real problem is that old catch-22; I don't have the experience to confidently apply for a position within the industry or begin to think about the IRSE examinations, but, without working within the industry I cannot build the experience.
I think I may begin by submitting an application for Associate Membership. I presume that I would be covered under the following route: 'Actively interested in the promotion, development and practice of the profession'.
From there I may be able to rely on my 'transferable' skills to be able secure a position as I will not be 'hands-on', but looking for a managerial position. Do you feel if this is likely to be feasible? From there I could then build on my knowledge base in conjunction with study and move on from there.
Again, any relevant thoughts or insights would be appreciated.
