The Institute will notify students of their results via post as soon as possible after the examinations, following moderation.

Moderation process

IRM has a stringent two stage moderation process for setting and marking examinations. The aim of the Institute's moderation process is to ensure:

• Quality assurance

• Examination papers are set in accordance with principles set by IRM

• Consistency and accuracy in marking each examination paper

Examiner feedback report

Students who achieve a Fail can pay a fee to receive feedback on their examination script. This service is NOT available for those who achieve a Pass, Merit or Distinction grade.

The examination script will be reviewed by an IRM examiner who will produce feedback identifying areas where the student could have improved their performance and answers. Full details can be found in the Certificate Support Area (CSA) once registered.

Appeals procedure

IRM aims to ensure that all papers are marked fairly, consistently and accurately. However, on occasion, IRM recognises that a student may wish to appeal against a result given. Students may only use the Appeals procedure once they have requested and received the Examiner feedback report. Full details can be found in the Certificate Support Area (CSA) once registered.
