Hi All,
I have joined a railway consultancy firm for 1 year. In addition, I worked in telecommunications field about designing hardware and software of GSM phones for 6 years. Experiences aside, I have achieved MSc and BEng in engineering field already. (Notice that English is not my first language :-) )
My enquiries are as follows:
1. If I would like to join IRSE, should I enter "Associate Member" or "Associate" class for the membership? I only have 1-year experience in railway field although the telecommunication experience is somehow related to railway. I wonder if I will be qualified as "Associate Member" or not based on my academic qualifications and experiences. (I have read the membership routes from the IRSE site but I am still not sure which class i should apply.) May anyone give me some suggestions?
2. After applying for the examinations, a student resource pack will be provided. Is the pack included all the necessary materials for the exam? Or I need to buy the related books according to the reading list provided? How can I collect all the studying materials for the 4 modules so that I can focus in reading them?
Please provide some advices to me for the above enquiries.
Thanks in advance! :-)
