IRSE Licensing & Competence Services

Holding and Maintaining IRSE competence is critical to safe, compliant delivery across the rail industry. At OSL Global, we provide end-to-end support for IRSE licensing, assessment and renewal, delivered by an experienced in-house team who understand the realities of working in safety-critical environments.

Whether you are renewing an individual licence or managing competence across a wider team, we can support you. Please use the contact form and a member of the team will be in touch. 

If you are looking to gain, renew or add to your Institution of Railway Signal Engineers licence, our dedicated licensing team can manage the process efficiently and transparently.

Our IRSE services are underpinned by robust governance, technical credibility and a practical understanding of rail delivery.

  • Licence renewals and reassessments

  • New licence applications

  • Evidence review and portfolio preparation

  • Mentoring and competence development planning

  • Employer-led competence management support

Our assessors and verifiers are active rail professionals, bringing practical insight alongside a thorough understanding of IRSE requirements.

Added Value

If you have a written quotation from another IRSE assessing organisation, we will review it and where appropriate, provide a more cost-effective alternative.

This is done without compromising professional standards, governance or the integrity of the IRSE licensing process. Our focus remains on robust, well-managed assessments that support long-term competence and safe railway delivery.
