IRSE Licensing Scheme
The IRSE Licensing Scheme was introduced in 1994, and provides a means of competence certification for personnel undertaking work in the railway signalling and telecommunications industry. There are over 50 licence “categories” that cover the design, installation, testing, maintenance and engineering management of both railway signalling and telecommunications. Possession of a licence (or evidence that you are working towards obtaining a licence) is essential for people who want to carry out S&T engineering work for Network Rail and London Underground. Network Rail and London Underground require their contractors and consultants to ensure that all S&T engineers engaged in safety-critical and safety-related work possess IRSE licences.

Famous quotes containing the word scheme:
“The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
