Role overview
As the United Kingdom’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, the British Council creates opportunities for the people of the UK as well as of Iraq, in order to build trust and understanding, and maintain mutually beneficial relationships.
The British Council is working to support the rebuilding and revitalisation of the education system and to meet the demand for English and Skills to aid employability of young Iraqis. There is a large demand from target audiences for our services, linkages and programmes. This presents significant opportunities for the British Council to share UK expertise in Education, English and Society to create learning opportunities, strengthen institutions and create better understanding and trust between Iraq and the UK. However, doing this in a difficult security environment requires creativity, tenacity, passion and determination.
Iraq Exams expect to administer 5,274 exams in 2015-16 from our offices in two cities. The core activity is IELTS exams delivery from Baghdad and Erbil with plans to deliver using partners venues from April 2015 (Sulemaniyah).
The post is based in Iraq Examinations, which forms a part of MED North (Bahrain, Iraq and Saudi Arabia) regional business within the MENA region. The Iraq exams team consists of 4 staff members with a network of exams colleagues in MED North region. Iraq Exams will deliver more than 5,000 exams in the year ahead. The portfolio of examinations is expanding to include IELTS, Aptis, Educational and Professional exams.
