Become an examiner
Our volunteers have found the role of a College examiner to be an intellectually stimulating activity, which also attracts CPD points. There are opportunities for progression as an exam lead, or as a panel chair in your specialty. All reasonable expenses incurred while undertaking examiner duties will be reimbursed (further information can be found in our expenses policy).

Applications for item writers, examiners and senior examiners go through the following process:
Meetings of the Examinations Committee are held in February, May, September and November each year. Examiner training is typically held in February and July each year.
