Inter-institutional accreditation test for Danish language

The EU interpreting services will be organising an accreditation test for conference interpreters with DA as an A-language. The simultaneous tests will be held on 17 April 2023, the consecutive tests on 26 June 2023.

Both consecutive and simultaneous tests will take place in remote, via a remote testing platform. In particular, all eligible candidates will first be invited to record their simultaneous accreditation tests via an on-line selection tool; only if they succeed in the simultaneous part, candidates will be invited to sit the consecutive tests.

Candidates to the accreditation test will need to comply with the eligibility criteria as set out below:

• BA in Conference Interpretation (4 years)
  or
• MA in Conference Interpretation
  or
• BA in any subject and
  a Post-graduate diploma in Conference Interpretation of at least one academic year of full-time study
  or
  at least one year of professional experience (documented evidence of at least 100 days worked) as a conference interpreter at the level required for international meetings (experience as a court interpreter, liaison interpreter, public service interpreter or company interpreter does not count)
• Have a language combination that is in line with the required accreditation profiles:
  • A+B B=EN/FR/DE
  • A+CC C1=EN/FR/DE
• Have not failed an accreditation test three times (failure to attend without a justified reason counts as a fail). Except if the interest of the services so requires, before a fourth (and each subsequent) application can be accepted, a waiting period of five test years shall apply.

Deadline for applications is 07/02/2023 12:00 CET
