Important Note: Interpreting tests in any of these languages may be developed at any time. When a test is developed in a new language, everyone who has been registered or wishes to register for that language will be required to take the test to remain or become registered.

Absent testing for interpreters in most languages, we encourage interpreters to obtain certification as translators by the American Translators Association (ATA). While credentials in translation do not constitute credentials for interpretation, they are better than no credentials at all. The ATA's certification (formerly known as "accreditation") is about the only credentialing testing available for several languages. Contact the ATA for the language combinations for which the ATA has certification examinations.
