There are two national certifications for medical interpreters. Each test is slightly different and is available in different language pairs. One thing to keep in mind is that the NBCMI board has decided to stop paying for outside validation of their tests due to the expense. The passing rates for these exams are also low, but not nearly as low as court interpreter exams. They are to be taken seriously as they are difficult and expensive.

Most states in the US participate in the NCSC tests to certify court interpreters, which is the only certification currently available in the legal interpreting field. The pass rate for the state exams is low because it is a much more difficult professional test than many candidates (and the public) realize. It is important to prepare well for these exams as they are challenging and expensive to complete. Not all language pairs have a court interpreter exam, so you may end up going through another qualification process if your language pair does not currently have an exam in your state.

Another possibility for court interpreter certification is the Federal exam. This exam currently exists only for Spanish, so any other language pair would go through a different process for qualification purposes. The pass rate for this exam is under 20%. It is offered infrequently and is quite expensive, so proper preparation is a must. If passed, the exam permits the certification holder to interpret in all courts, both federal and state.
