During the pandemic, we introduced the possibility of one of the Speaking examiners working remotely. In some situations we will have the examiner who just listens using a video link to hear the test. The examiner who speaks to you will always be in the room.When a remote Speaking examiner is used:All video and sound checks will have been carried out before the test.You will receive exactly the same test as you would if there were two examiners in the room.An external microphone will be used to make sure that everything can be heard clearly.There will never be visual recordings of the exam.Sound is recorded in case of an emergency, but is always deleted at the end of the session.
