Irish Theory Examination

As announced last week, The Irish Radio Transmitters Society had sent the results of the theory examination held on the 18th of January to ComReg on 24th of January.

ComReg issued the results to candidates earlier this week. The results were issued within two weeks of the holding of the examination, which the Society considers to be very
satisfactory.

Of the nineteen candidates who sat the examination,
thirteen passed, which is a pass rate of 68%. The pass
rate in the essay type examination held in June last
was 71%.

Some of the candidates who failed had very near misses and we would expect them to pass at a future sitting. We would also expect the pass rate to increase somewhat if Clubs get back to running formal classes now that a system of regular twice yearly examinations organised, run and corrected by the Society has been established on a firm footing.

On this front, a small group within the Society is at an
advanced stage of preparing a course template for the
examination in PowerPoint format. This will contain a very detailed outline of all of the topics and material that needs to be covered for the theory examination. It is intended that this could be used as a detailed plan for those in Clubs wishing to run courses or as a study guide for the many people who may necessarily have to study on their own for the examination.

It is intended to launch this project at the AGM in April and samples of the relevant CD ROM should be available free to
Clubs and individuals.
