Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think GET are alone in this feat.
In which case, we need not worry about rcd's being 3 modules wide cos GET are the only ones and they are fixed into the unit (as opposed to units like MK's where you can choose what goes where....)

Whoops. I think GET's configuration is flexible.
Grovelling apologies with free boot shine courtesy of tongue if this is the case.

No, all Mk's DP RCD's are 2 module.
BUT, they make 4 pole RCD's that are 4 mods.

Never bought a GET RCD so cannot comment on that...I only buy quality gear 
Regarding MK..they used to make a double pole MCB that had a RCD attatchment on it..to make it an RCBO in effect. This made it three poles, but they have not made them for many years, although it is possible to come across them in use.

An RCBO combines the overload/short circuit protection that an mcb gives with rcd protection.
It is used in boards that have a normal incomer where individual rcd protection is required.
IE If you have each circuit that requires rcd protection covered by an rcbo, then in the event of a fault, only that circuit will fail, whereas with a s/l board, all the protected circuits will fail.
Still used? Very much current, mate.
I'm having serious doubts about your course tutor.
