Have you reviewed The Good Viva Video? http://www.angelproductions.co.uk/universities.htm I have put a large number of first hand phd diaries on the web for trainers to use for free. Many of these detail experiences of being examined and examining where things went wrong. Have a look through them: http://www.missendencentre.co.uk/links.html We have run seminars at Missenden on examining PhDs in the past and could do so again if people tell me that there is a demand. We added an expert in examining and a lawyer who deals with the increasing number of challenges and appeals. You are on to a crucial issue. Many universities are putting aside up to 0.5m to pay compensation to students, the larger sums for doctorate examination failure. See also OIHE etc annual reports.

We are looking to put together some training materials / workshop for new PhD viva examiners. I've done a trawl of the web and found some useful guidelines, a YouTube video but not much else. Does anyone know of any good materials or have any examples of this type of training?
