Who this is for
Individuals interested in spoken interpretation and communication support in community settings.
Proposed assessment areas
- Consecutive interpretation and listening comprehension
- Spoken accuracy, memory, and note-taking
- Cultural competence and community interpretation
- Impartiality, confidentiality, and interpretation ethics
Assessment objectives and intended outcomes
Proposed activities include listening and reformulation exercises, consecutive interpretation role plays, and ethical scenarios. The intended outcome is faithful spoken communication that respects context, speaker intent, and professional boundaries.
Proposed pathways
Initial development focuses on community interpretation. This future credential would not automatically qualify holders for regulated medical, legal, or court interpreting roles; those settings may require separate qualifications.
