The Deputy Test Centre Administrator is responsible for independently managing the day-to-day operations of the IELTS test centre while driving business development, sales, revenue growth, and market expansion. The role ensures the consistent delivery of secure, compliant, efficient, and customer-focused IELTS testing services while identifying and converting business opportunities to strengthen IDP Education’s market presence.
The position has dual accountability for IELTS Operations and Compliance and Business Development and Revenue Growth. This includes overseeing test scheduling, logistics, candidate administration, examination security, data management, and service delivery, alongside generating sales leads, converting prospective candidates into registrations, developing strategic partnerships, and implementing initiatives to expand market reach.
The role requires a high level of autonomy, commercial awareness, accountability, and sound judgement, with the ability to plan and execute activities independently, resolve operational challenges, manage stakeholder relationships, and deliver measurable results against agreed business objectives. The successful candidate will be expected to take ownership of the test centre’s operational and commercial performance, escalating only significant risks, exceptions, or decisions requiring higher-level approval, while upholding IDP’s values of integrity, customer focus, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
This role is situated in Asaba, Delta state, Nigeria.

They see your structured profile as it stands at the moment you apply, plus your CV if you have one attached. That snapshot is frozen - if you edit your profile next week, this application still shows what you sent today. Your salary expectation is never sent unless you choose to include it.
Yes. The match figure is for you, not for them - IDP Education Limited does not see it. The apply button works the same regardless of your match percentage.
Because boards rewrite titles when they republish. All copies of this vacancy are the same job at the same employer with the same closing date. We show the employer's own wording and list the rest above so you know you have already seen it.
It appears in your application tracker straight away. Because this application is handled here rather than on an external site, you will see the status change as IDP Education Limited moves it - viewed, shortlisted, interviewing or declined. Roles that redirect to an employer's own site cannot be tracked that way, and we say so on those listings.
This employer has not yet been checked against the corporate register.
Regardless of any of that, no employer on this platform may ask you for money at any stage. If this one does, report it and tell us what they asked for.
