Examiner

Reference:GCE/ECON/EX 

 Edexcel is recruiting examiners for GCE Economics  

Our Examiners undertake a vital role in education, shaping the future of thousands of students.

An Examiner marks candidate scripts.  Most subjects will be marked on screen using ePEN, which can be done from home.  A few subjects are still marked in the traditional method, using paper scripts sent through the post. As a subject specialist, you already possess high levels of commitment and dedication. We will complement that with comprehensive training, and support you throughout the assessment process, whether you are marking traditionally or online.

Being an examiner can inspire fresh ideas and new approaches to practicising your subject and will give you valuable insight into national standards.

The marking period is between May - July.

The training required to mark as an examiner will take place between May and June.

You can expect to earn between £550 - £850 for 40-45 hours work.
