Certification

> Certification and Credential Clarification Letter 6.29.2011

Certificate
A document that attests to the attainment of specific learning objectives. A person who holds a certificate related to interpreter training is NOT necessarily a Certified Interpreter, a Certified Court Interpreter or a Certified Conference Interpreter.

Certification
A process by which a professional organization attests to or certifies that an individual is qualified to provide a particular service. Certification calls for formal assessment, using an instrument that has been tested for validity and reliability[1], so that the certifying body can be confident that the individuals it certifies have the qualifications needed to provide interpreting services. A training certificate does NOT constitute certification.

Certified Interpreter
A professional interpreter who is certified as competent by a professional organization through rigorous testing based on appropriate and consistent criteria. Interpreters who have had limited training or have taken a screening test administered by an employing legal, health, interpreter or referral agency are NOT considered certified.

*Extracted from the NSGCIS – National Standards Guide for Community Interpreting Services - Canada

Certifying Body
A state or national organization that certifies interpreters.

Are you nationally certified as a medical/healthcare interpreter? (RID, CCHI, NB only)
Yes
No
