Inclusive Online Training Resources
Online resources provide a variety of tools you can use to supplement the Official Courseware. This course contains the following online resources:
Exam Guide
A guide that focuses on providing strategies and recommendations for passing exams. The topics included in this handbook are based on candidate feedback and the most frequently requested questions. It detects topics that most students find difficult to understand and suggests the best way to get through the difficulty barrier.
Online Mock Exams
Students who register can take real mock examinations that simulate the same final exam style and questions. In each segment of the exams, questions are rotated at random, just like in actual exams with retakes.
Online Exam Preparation Support
Students receive online chat support by appointment to help them through their study programmes and to address their issues and questions concerning the exam. [This is not a tutoring service; it is live guidance from our Course Development and Examination Board volunteer members.]
Unlimited Access to Research Paper & Videos
Access to the Association's online research papers. These are a collection of externally generated links. These will be beneficial as references for students who need help explaining and learning concepts and topics included on the CIRS exam.
Unlimited Practice Exam Included
Students who buy the Training Guide get an unlimited number of practice examinations to assist them to study for the final exam. In each segment of the exams, questions are rotated at random, just like in actual exams with retakes.
Supplemental Notes
These are the learning materials that are given as information and notes to either complement the primary topics in the curriculum or to assist students with difficult and complex topics that require elaboration or further explanations.
