      Application

      Interview

      After applying on the company website, after about 4 weeks I was contacted and told my application was successful and that they would expect to start interviews on said date (about a week after this email) and to confirm a time that suited me. I replied and got a prompt invite to an interview that fit my schedule. The interview was online and was around an hour.

      Question 1

      A lot of the questions were around "what would I do in X situation" or "what are the challenges you would expect in Y situation" or "if Z occurs, how do you think you would respond" style of questions. Mostly in the topics of using technology, challenges, risks, student welfare

      It's a standardised vetting process for IELTS examiners. It's mainly to talk about the candidate's past teaching experience, particularly their understanding of the test format and procedures.
