I think they like China experience?
Never mind me though - put your application in and prove me wrong. |

I once met a teacher who used to do IELTS exam work and hated it. They said that while the pay sounds good at first, there's a lot of 'at home work', but I don't know how true this is. |
Not true at all.
2,500 GBP per month is possible in some months doing just IELTS, but doing just weekends 1,000 GBP per is more like the maximum. Again that's per month not per weekend as D-M interpreted it.
Every month in Time Out and the Beijinger there are ads recruiting new examiners, so seems like examiners are still in need. |

| Do you think it is possible to become an IELTS examiner while employed on an F Visa (or business visa, or whatever they call them)? |

Can you consistently make �1000 each month or is it only some months that there is work? |

I've worked for 10 years as an IELTS examiner in Hong Kong. Obviously the rate of pay will be different in China, but the pay in HK is HK$200 per candidate ($120 for the speaking test, $80 for the written test). HK examiners sometimes do IELTS examining in Guangzhou even get flown up to Shanghai, and get paid a bit less than the HK rate. Maybe that's what you get over there, not sure.
A standard IELTS session (about six hours) on a Saturday or Sunday (most IELTs work is at the w/e) involves 12 or 13 candidates, which translates to HK$2,400 to 2,600 (or US$310-335).
There is no take home work with IELTS - it all has to be done at the examining centre. It's boring, but pretty decent pay. Beats teaching English, IMO.
Some examiners in HK make their entire income from IELTS by doing sessions Saturday and Sunday and doing re-marking (ie. appeals and screw-ups) during the week, making up to around HK$35K a month. |
