Description
The RMEE has been designed specifically to assess applicants who will work out on the tracks within the rail industry. The test is suitable for all roles including manual workers, signalling and telecommunications experts, welders and supervisors.
The RMEE gives assessors an exclusive insight into an applicant's ability to understand and work with the unique type of diagrams that transport systems depend on, coupled with a thorough assessment of their ability to identify and prioritise faults through visual inspection and using a set of rules.
The test is in two parts:
- Part 1 asks the candidate to identify either a signal or track fault by following some simple rules given on an information sheet.
- Part 2 of the test asks candidates to identify the location of a fault using a comprehensive map, and to then identify the type of fault (track or signal) and finally the priority of the particular fault.
There are 75 questions in total across the two parts.
