AMEB Victoria Examiners
Examiners are selected on the basis of their appropriate qualifications which include teaching and performance experience to an advanced level and familiarity with the AMEB system.
Each examiner is a specialist in the field of their endeavour so that if a candidate is seeking an examination in a particular instrument or in speech and drama then an examiner qualified to examine in that category will be allocated wherever possible.
