We can often have over 50 invigilators working on a busy session. We are going to require even more this year for the A-Level core Maths sessions. Hence the need for a large pool.
Some invigilators also work in our “Study Skills Dept” and they will scribe/read etc. and be a general invigilator when required.

6th form college too – with approx. 1800 students taking summer exams. Nowhere near 75 invigilators – nearer 25 but we could do with more. Chris do your invigilators do all the reading/scribing
required too or does your Learning Support team provide the LSA’s for this?

We keep a large pool of invigilators because we may need up to 50 for our larger exam sessions and not all will be available for the sessions that we want them for.
Some are part-time staff, only available when not already working. Most are completely external to the college (does comprise a number of retired members of staff – we cherry pick on retirement day!)
To obtain some “loyalty” we offer the best invigilators other exams work throughout the year and as a college resource whenever help is needed such as enrolment day, open evenings and even on the reception desk
when short of staff.

Hi Chris
We’re a Sixth Form College like you but don’t have anywhere near 75 invigilators. How on earth did you manage to recruit that many. Do you pay well?

We have about 2,500 students for the summer all taking multiple A-Levels and GCSEs (several days with 800+) taking about 20,000 exam papers.
For the rest of the year we run November and January series plus a large number of entries for the November University tests. Every month we have a number of tests and exams mainly relating to UK and Overseas
Universities including a several hundred for each US SAT test.
Keeps us busy.
No full-time staff are invigilators although some part-time staff are.

Hi all
Every year I try to think of new ideas for invigilator training and am struggling to think of something innovative this year. I wondered if anyone had ideas rather than just a presentation if they would share!
Thanks.
