Update 9 February:
Module B, C and D candidates:
- All results were issued by email to candidates yesterday (8 February).
- 'N' feedback will be issued shortly to all those who gained a 'near miss' grade. Unfortunately examiners are unable to give meaningful feedback to those who gained a 'failed' grade as they find that many candidates gaining this grade have answered two or three questions poorly.
- The IRSE Younger Members' section is arranging for an online exam review (expected to be in early March) when examiners will give generic feedback on October's exam. It will be recorded and made available in the study Vimeo area https://vimeo.com/showcase/study for those unable to attend.
- Those candidates who passed one or two modules but have not completed their Advanced Diploma have also been sent a letter to confirm their pass(es).
- Those who have successfully completed their Advanced Diploma are asked to check their postal details by 1 March for certificates to be sent to them.
Certificate (Module A) candidates:
- All certificates were sent out by Royal Mail last week (week commencing 29 January).
- Royal Mail's international postage gives expected delivery within 2 working weeks. If you have not received your certificate by 19 February, please let us know at exam@irse.org and we will arrange for another to be sent to you.
Update 30 January:
Module B, C and D candidates - your exam papers have been marked and are in the final stages of moderation, checking and collation of N feedback. The analysis of the remote invigilation and anti-plagiarism software has been reviewed. We expect to release the results in early February. All candidates are asked to give feedback to improve IRSE's processes and communications via https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ZQ67L8H
Update 6 December:
Certificate (Module A) candidates - all results have been emailed to Certificate candidates and successful candidates have been asked to check their postal addresses and inform us by 8 January.
Module B, C and D candidates - papers are being marked and moderated, the analysis of the remote invigilation and anti-plagiarism software has been reviewed. We expect to be informing candidates of their results during January.
Update 1 November:
Exam papers continue to be marked, reviewed and moderated whilst the outputs of the remote invigilation and anti-plagiarism software are reviewed and checked.
We are prioritising the Certificate candidates for their remote invigilation reviews and have contact some candidates today to ask for additional information. We will issue results as soon as possible.
We are always interested in feedback about the exam process, to improve it and make it more accessible and relevant. Candidates are therefore asked to spend about 15 minutes completing the appropriate questionnaire - questionnaire for Certificate candidates or questionnaire for Module B, C, D candidates, thank you.
