The College has a team of invigilators to be called upon for external examinations and mocks. Additional invigilators are often needed to supplement the team.
Invigilators are paid an hourly rate and are normally needed in college either from 8.15am to 11.30am or from 12.30pm to 3.30pm, or both. No experience, qualifications or specific skills are necessary but invigilators must be reliable, trustworthy, confident and assertive. Appointments are always subject to satisfactory references and DBS checks. The dress code is ‘smart office wear’.
We welcome students’ parents and other adult relatives (such as grandparents) in this role but do not allow them to invigilate in a room where their own relative is taking an exam.
If you would be interested in joining the invigilation team, please contact the Exams Officer, Miss Bridget Scott on 01483 484817 or e-mail her exams@kingscollegeguildford.com
Please see the Exam Timetable for Summer 2023.
As part of our commitment to serving our community, Kings College welcomes applications from private candidates.
Kings are not able to provide facilities for practical speaking examinations other than AQA French and Spanish, and other internally assessed coursework. Candidates who are re-sitting qualifications will be able to carry forward coursework marks from a previous exam series.
