Interpreter Performance Assessment (IPA)

Interpreter Test

Every year, countless people fail the court interpreter oral exam. These people practiced. These people studied. These people prepared, often for months.

So why did they fail? The answer is simple: they never got an objective assessment of their particular strengths and weaknesses. Lacking a training plan specifically tailored to their unique needs, these candidates continued reinforcing the same old bad habits during their study sessions.
