Irish Theory Examinations

June 16th marked the first Experimenter Licence Theory Examination run under the new system.

Under this system, negotiated recently by the IRTS with ComReg, the Society is responsible for the setting, organisation and correcting of the Theory Examination. This was also the last examination using the traditional essay type exam paper.

All future exams will be in the multiple-choice paper of 60 questions covering the various aspects of the HAREC syllabus. A question bank has already been prepared by the Society. Fourteen candidates sat the examination in the ComReg Offices.

ComReg has undertaken to provide facilities in January and June of each year, free of charge, to facilitate the holding of examinations. Examinations can be held at centres elsewhere in the country if numbers warrant it.

The agreement negotiated by the Society with ComReg is
a historic one and puts the running of the Theory
Examination on a proper footing. It also vests the trust and confidence of ComReg in the Society, which adds further to its status as the representative Society for Radio Experimenters in this country.
