Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Evaluation components and conditions.
To be certified as an interpreter, an individual must pass a skill based performance evaluation. The process for certification consists of a written examination and a performance evaluation. The written examination and performance interview may include items from the NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct and the Certification Levels limitations.Interpreters who hold Level III certification in either Interpreting or Transliterating are required to take the IV/V performance evaluation, which is in compliance with the Ethical Standards.
(b)
Written examination.
The written examination consists of questions designed to measure knowledge of interpreting and situational ethics. Applicants must make a passing score, as established by the program, before being allowed to take the performance evaluation. If the written test is failed, retesting may be taken again in 30 calendar days.
(c)
Performance Evaluation.
The Interpreter Certification and Resource Center (ICRC) administers two performance evaluations, certification levels for category I-III and certification levels for category IV/V. The performance evaluation consists of ethical situational questions, which is called an interview, and a skill based proficiency test, which will test the candidate's ability to interpret and transliterate interactive settings. Individuals may request testing for category levels I-III or category levels IV/V. A candidate is eligible to apply in the same performance category, I-III or IV-V, in four months from prior testing date. A performance application can be submitted before four months and will be placed on the next available evaluation date after the four months waiting period. If an interpreter obtains a level III in either transliterating or interpreting, he/she is immediately eligible to apply for the IV/V performance. Certification will be granted to an individual whose total score falls within the acceptable range for that level.
(d)
Conflict of interest.
Interpreter certification program staff who select, manage or coordinate the certification process or select evaluators are not eligible to test for Oklahoma interpreter certification through this process.
