Our requirements

Like our clients, we value well-trained and qualified interpreters highly. That’s why we only work with certified court interpreters or interpreters who hold a relevant university degree. Exceptions are only made for languages for which no university-based programme exists in the German-speaking world. Together with the German Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators (BDÜ), we initiated a certification course for lay (video remote) interpreters in health care and social services for these languages.
