My point I was getting at is the IRSE could be a bit more "user friendly" in general.
Compare the IET website to the IRSE website......I still find it difficult navigating my way around after using it for a few years.
If the IRSE were to publish a booklet in the format similar to the city+guilds exam success (which only really starts you off, bit like the IRSE study guides but a bit more user friendly for exam purposes) they could gain extra revenue........
Or maybe with their permission........... and a cut of the profits........ maybe some else could produce it
I understand the points you are making. I agree I don't think it would be a good idea to spoon feed candidates the answers and the whole point of the exam is actually to make you learn about the railway as a whole system, not just how your job role fits, the history of the railway, why and how each component was changed and what can be done in the future to improve it.
I certainly didn't think about any of this till I've actually just started reading, studying, attempting past papers for the module 5 (so maybe it works if i pass....yes, if not ....... NO
) In my defence I've only to tansferred to the industry 5 years ago and was busy gaining a couple of licences first!!
I can't believe how little the resources are used on this site. Looking at the posting dates there is massive gaps for instance in submitting past paper attempts, surely you would be doing little and often if you were studing for an exam?? Was/is there a reason for this or am i missing something, newbie error?
PJW thanks:-Agree past graduates should get more involved in helping with past paper attemptsm and in general instead of what seems like the usual ones and perhaps broaden the reviews and opinions of answers given.
When looking for resources for the module 5, I get the distinct impression there is little support, which given the massive area this covers, is a bit disappointing. Hopefully this will be addressed before I opt for the exam in 2019..........hopefully well before i sit the exam actually, need all the help I can get.
Again thanks for your support and help.
