Hi Mark,

I would suggest you hold an invigilator training session for staff that are used as readers on a day-to-day basis for students.  That way, when you need them for exam purposes, they are ‘qualified invigilators’ even though you are primarily using them as readers.  Perhaps spinning the line that it is now a requirement for readers to be trained in invigilator duties will help with this.

The staff we have used for reading requirements in the past have all been invigilator trained.

Subject: FW: Reader Invigilates or Invigilator Reads??

Hello all

I was wondering how centres are taking this forward.

As it should [] be the students normal way of working are you insisting that the Reader acts as the Invigilator or are you using you Invigilators as readers - students will not have the oppotunity to practice with the invigilator but should be using the readers in class.

The reason I ask is because the Invigilators cost comes out of my budget and the Readers costs don't.  I am also unable to pay invigilators more to take this on but have not actually infomed them that this may be an additional requirement to their role.

Many thanks

Mark
