Invigilator recruitment 2022
Recruitment of invigilators for the 2022 exam diet is well under way and we have issued contract offers to your nominated invigilators.
We understand that you may still be sourcing additional invigilators to ensure a wider pool to call on this year. Please consider the following when establishing your invigilation requirements:
- Ensure you have arrangements to cover your chief invigilator if they are unavailable at short notice by nominating a depute chief invigilator if you do not already have one.
- Ensure you have sufficient invigilators to cover your accommodation requirements and, where possible, have a reserve pool available to cover anyone who is unavailable at short notice.
- In partnership with your chief invigilator, you may wish to consider how to deploy invigilators in specific ‘mini’ teams that work together throughout the diet.
It is anticipated that your invigilation team should be larger this year than previous exam diets. To help support you, we have compared current requirements with those of 2019 and will contact centres where we have noted a decrease to discuss this and offer additional support. You may also wish to view our course on recruiting invigilators on SQA Academy which looks at the use of social media as part of your recruitment efforts.
In the meantime, please contact invigilation@sqa.org.uk or your liaison manager if you have any questions or concerns about invigilation.
