The papers must be corected by examiner familar with principles declared. Were the layouts corrected by a manager who decided to pass his own staff? Awarding your staff good grades discredits integrity of exam.
On behalf of all who has to work hard to pass their exams I am very dissappointed in IRSE.

Hi Abdul
As someone from the Island of Ireland who passed Mod 2 all I can say is all the long hours of study and practise definately helped!! I spent 2 weeks at Signet Solution doing the AST course and numerous hours with printed out, taped together layouts racing against the clock to complete.
One one occassion due to frustration I crumpled the layout up and stormed off in the huff, only to come back about an hour later when I had calmed down and had another think about my signal placement!
Irish Rail to their credit have invested significantly in the Personal Development of their Signalling Engineers and their investment has obviously been successful. I think their overall pass rate was around 79%, most of their engineers have significant experience alot of which can't be taught in a text book. They held in house study sessions and allowed engineers study time at work and they should be commended for there approach, alot of compainies basically let their staff get on with it.
So Abdul my advise is to follow the guidance given on this board and practise!!
