– Provides an accurate reflection of your progress against the exam criteria

What's in the Level 3 interpreting qualification exam?

There is no requirement to write long essays, simply tell us when you are ready and our qualified and skilled assessors will assess if you already have what it takes to become a community interpreter.
-
The exam takes place remotely, using videoconferencing software
- We invite you to take part in a role play assessment where you will interpret and provide a sight translation for a Limited English Speaker. You will have to act as professional and not only demonstrate your linguistic skills but also show that you are aware of the industry terminology and requirements.

Part 1: two way (consecutive) health interpreting role play - 25 mins
-
Part 2: sight translation health role play - 10 mins
Our qualification can be achieved quickly and smoothly from the comfort of your own home and this flexibility does not affect its quality. The qualification has been created by a team that has over 10 years of experience delivering online interpreting and language assessments and is strictly regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) that regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.
If you are not ready to take the exam yet, you can take our 'How to be an interpreter' preparation course that provides you with all the knowledge that you will require to build the skills and vocabulary necessary to pass the exam.
