IExpE Entrance Examinations
Specialist
Papers
There are currently
eight specialist examinations from which aspiring members must choose one.
These are listed in the menu to the left. The specialist papers do not
have an associated training course run by the Institute because they are
based on an individuals' professional knowledge and experience. Each of
the specialist examinations consists of:
Paper 1:
A one-hour paper of short questions covering aspects of good practice and
legislation.
Paper 2
A two-hour paper of essay-type questions, requiring the candidate
to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of his chosen subject.
The technical
content of paper two is the same as that for paper one, but with the candidate
being tested in the practical application of his knowledge. Within each
specialism, the second paper will cover the following points:
- The Suitability
of Available Explosives and Initiating Systems for the Specialism
- Blast Design
Principles
- Surveying
for Blast Design
- Environmental
Considerations, Including Prediction, Measurement, and Analysis
- Operational
Administration and Logistics
- Specific
Legal and Safety Requirements
- Selection
and Use of Contractors Plant where appropriate, both before and after
the Blast
- Blast Techniques
