    How does one go about finding work correcting pre/mock J cert and L cert exam papers?? I'm studying English and Theology and would love the experience and the extra cash. Also, must one be a qualified teacher in order to correct actual state exam papers?? Thanks guys

    Re the mocks, contact the commercial companies that make the papers (Examcraft, Dublin Examining Board). They are nothing to do with the SEC.

    Re the SEC exams, there are non-teachers that correct but preference will generally be given to teachers, if they apply. The application forms usually arrive in schools shortly after the Hallowe'en break.

    just to add to what spurious said about the mock papers, they take applications normally between november and january and corrections take place january- april. I've finished for this year (and the last time!) and i'd say most subjects have been wound up by now.

    try contacting them towards the end of the year, i can tell you that DEB were looking for 2 years teaching experience to correct this year...

    I have a HDip and one year's experience. DEB told me I wasn't qualified enough and Exam Craft didn't even acknowledge my application. Based on that, I'd be surprised if you got it to be honest.
