Why Should I Consider Earning Certified Interpreter Credentials?<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Elevate your career opportunities and earning potential with a respected industry certification.<\/em><\/p>\n

Completing training programs that result in a certificate in interpreting is an excellent first step to preparing for work as an interpreter and building a professional career as a language interpreter.<\/p>\n

Earning industry certification enables you to provide potential employers with evidence of your skills, knowledge and competence. These respected credentials can open additional doors of opportunity and earning potential throughout your career. We can help you prepare for this invaluable next step.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to understand the difference between a certificate earned from an interpreting training organization (such as The Interpreter's Lab) and attaining Certified status obtained from a recognized professional body. In Canada, acquiring a Certified title, as a medical, community or court interpreter, can only be granted by an affiliate member organization of the Canadian Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters Council (CTTIC), and requires passing a certification exam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Choose the right certification for your career path<\/em><\/p>\n

There are two interpreter exams in Canada that lead to advanced recognition in the industry.<\/p>\n
