  Education Team  
WIPO is looking for tutors for the DL20x course of its Online Academy. WIPO draws its tutors both from academic backgrounds and from practising attorneys.

Tutors are required to teach online in a virtual classroom. The course takes ten weeks and for that period the tutor is expected to be online for about an hour and a half every day, working with about fifty students. At the end of the course the tutor is expected to mark the final exam (6-8 questions from each of about 40 to 50 candidates). It is estimated that each paper takes three to four hours to mark and this has to be done in about three weeks. Training will be given, and there is some remuneration for the work.

For further information, or to signify your interest, please email janicetrebble@dolleymores.com
