How do I become an IELTS Examiner?
Are you thinking about applying for a job as IELTS examiner? There are some important steps to become an IELTS examiner.
All applicants to become an examiner must have the qualifications and experience outlined above. Shortlisted applicants are invited to interview. The applicant’s professional attributes and interpersonal skills are assessed at three stages in the recruitment process: application form, interview and training.
If you are interested in becoming an IELTS examiner, then please contact your local IELTS test centre. Please note: jobs as IELTS examiner are in high demand and not always available.
Following an interview, successful applicants complete an induction process.
Applicants who successfully complete induction proceed to training in Writing and/or Speaking assessment, which is carried out by an Examiner Trainer and lasts four days.
Applicants then complete a certification set to demonstrate that they can apply the assessment criteria accurately and reliably. If successful, they become qualified examiners.
Examiners are monitored by examiner trainers up to four times a year and at least once every two years. New examiners (and those who have not recently worked as IELTS examiners) are monitored at least three times in their first year. All examiners receive written feedback on their ratings and also on the delivery of the speaking test. They may be required to take corrective action if any issues are raised about their performance.
Standardisation is completed at the centre and takes place as close as possible to the 2-yearly recertification of the examiner. After the standardisation session, the examiners then complete a new certification set to demonstrate they can apply the assessment criteria accurately.
