About EIKEN: EIKEN is an abbreviation of a Japanese word that means Test in Practical English Proficiency. EIKEN is Japan's most widely administered English-language proficiency testing program, with more than 95 million examinees since 1963. The EIKEN tests, which assess all four skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) and include a face-to-face speaking component, are backed by the Japanese education ministry and recognized at thousands of institutions in Japan and internationally.
Japanese Children’s Society has been organizing the biggest site abroad on behalf of EIKEN Japan. About one thousand examinees gather to take the 1st stage written test 3 times a year in the New York area. Those who passed the written test proceed to the 2nd stage interview test. The interview test is held on Sundays, three times a year.
We occasionally seek qualified candidates to join as EIKEN examiners in the NYC area who administer the EIKEN speaking tests. Upon successful completion of training, examiners are assigned to our test site as needed depending on the grade(s) they have been trained to administer and the number of examinees. We usually assign about 20 examiners to our test site each time.
In order to become an examiner, please submit your resume and then we’ll set up an interview. After passing the interview, you have to take the training course online. It will take about 40 minutes to 1 hour for each Grade(1, Pre1, 2, Pre2, 3). Registration as an EIKEN examiner does not guarantee regular assignment to the test site.
