Why become an IELTS Speaking Examiner?

 The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) was one of the pioneers of four skills English language testing over 25 years ago, and continues to set the standard for English language testing today.

 IELTS measures the language proficiency of people who want to study or work where English is used as a language of communication.
