About ABRSM Examiners
ABRSM's examiners must be UK-based musicians with a strong educational background and the qualifications to demonstrate this.
They will have the personal experience, qualities and attributes to cope positively with the range of situations and people they will meet, be used to working with children, be open to training, be competent but not necessarily performing pianists and be able to make at least one week of their time available each session.
They must be prepared to travel, as ABRSM makes every effort to avoid the possibility of panel members examining candidates known to them, or the students of teachers they know.
Examiners do not normally revisit an examining venue within a three-year period.
They will be in sympathy with ABRSM's Child Protection and Equal Opportunites policies, and will have full CRB clearance.
