Do you recommend that the test-taker have some kind of college degree in order to pass the TEP? Or is “an average high school kid” expected to pass the TEP?
We do recommend intensive language study and practice to pass the TEP (see Candidate Study Guide). However, UA NCITRP knows of no correlation between educational attainment and interpreting ability. We have found that individuals with and without a university degree can pass interpreter certification examinations if they possess the required language and interpreting proficiency.
