Examiner Information
IELTS examiners are qualified, experienced English language
specialists. The Speaking and Writing Modules of the IELTS test are
assessed by certificated examiners. IELTS examiners are required to
re-certificate every two years and their performance is closely
monitored to ensure global standards are maintained.
It is the responsibility of each IELTS test centre to recruit
and train a pool of examiners. Centres recruit on a needs basis and
nominate examiners who meet the following requirements:
- applicants must be native speaker (or a non-native speaker of
an overall IELTS Band 9 – with a 9 in both Speaking and Writing
modules);
- applicants must have a relevant TEFL qualification eg
CELTS/DELTA; and
- applicants must have at least three years relevant teaching
experience.
The applications of the nominated examiners have to be approved
by a qualified examiner trainer. After approval the examiner
undergoes face-to-face training, conducted by an accredited IELTS
trainer and is required to do the certification assessment.
If you are interested in becoming an IELTS examiner and you meet
the requirements outlined above, please contact your local test centre.
