I’ve been a translator for a long period of time but not a healthcare interpreter. Can I apply to take CCHI’s examinations?
Yes, but only if you meet the prerequisites related to healthcare interpreting since the knowledge, skills and abilities required of a healthcare translator are different than a healthcare interpreter. For example, being certified by ATA or having completed training as a translator will not satisfy CCHI’s prerequisites.
