Does anyone know anywhere in London or The South that does IELTS examiner training? I've emailed a few centres and not had a reply.

Thanks in advance.

You may find that you have to pay for the opportunity. Welcome to the Brave New World of EFL-ing in 2011.

Welshteacher,

IELTS examiner training now costs �300 for an intensive weekend!

There are 9 local centres in London, 45 in the UK. Try looking at :

www.ielts.org/researchers/examiner_information.aspx

and

www.ielts.org/test_centre_search/search_results.aspx

Good luck!

I concur. I made the money back, but loathe the job.

Not worth 300 pounds. And very soon the novelty wears off. Looks good on the CV though.

That no longer counts for me since I am leaving the effing EFLing classroom for a world of ............................... FREEDOM.
