Q: What qualifications are needed to become an IELTS examiner?

I heard IELTS examiners can earn up to 30K a month in China. Can anyone tell me what qualifications are necessary and how to get them?

None. Some of the companies will give you some noise about requirements but I personally know 3 foreigners in GZ who got IELTS jobs fresh off the plane. Their only qualifications were being native speakers. They didn't even have college degrees yo.

Are you sure you're thinking of examiners and not IELTS teachers? There's a significant difference. Examiners are, from my experience, carefully vetted and monitored, teachers, alas, are not.

Minimum professional requirements

You will need to meet the following requirements to become an IELTS examiner:

 An undergraduate degree or a qualification which can be demonstrated to be equivalent to an undergraduate degree.
 A recognized qualification in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL, CELTA, etc).
 A minimum of three years full time relevant TESOL teaching experience to adults.
 The required professional attributes and interpersonal skills

They can make a  lot of money but the British Council, I believe, does not provide the visa nor does it provide visa support.  Additionally, a great deal of travel on weekends, usually, can be expected, as many of the tests/duties/etc., are scheduled on weekends.

 

For someone with a visa-in-pocket and a back-up source of income, it is indeed a good way to line one's pockets but the job can be exceptionally tedious and time-consuming.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
