I don’t have PGCE either but there has not
been any problem with my doing speaking exams in the past. I go to the child’s
school and do the speaking. Now it is Controlled Assessment, I guess I will
have to go more often to the relevant schools.

Subject: examiner for Edexcel GCSE
Chinese
Dear
Forum,
I
am hired by a company teaching school groups Mandarin online (during school
hours) and I do not have NQT/PGCE status. My students are taking their GCSE
Chinese (Edexcel) this year. Can anyone tell me whether I can be my students'
'examiner', and whether I can conduct Speaking and Writing exam with them? I do
not know for sure if I am a 'qualified examier' (from Edexcel's point of view)
to conduct my students' Writing and Speaking exam.
I
was told by my school that an online teacher (from my company) conduct German
GCSE with them physically, and parents (of this school's pupils) were asked to
come to their school to conduct Polish exams, and I was asked why can't I do
it.
Shouldn't
this (4 exams) be done at my students' local exam centre with someone with
NQT?
I
do not want to mess this up for my school and company. Any advice would be very
much appreciated.
Yours
faithfully,
YiShan
