PGCE & NQT
We want to encourage newly qualified teachers and students currently studying for a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education to apply to be examiners.
It's an ideal way to enhance your knowledge of your subject and the examinations system, boost your confidence and to get a deeper insight into how students approach examinations. It will also add favourably to your CV.
The awarding bodies have different criteria. PGCE students are welcome to apply to OCR and Edexcel. AQA requires a minimum of three terms' teaching experience.
Most examiners have recent experience of teaching the subject and level they examine. Where appropriate, we also recruit non-teaching professionals with relevant specialist experience.
