How can I prepare for the CertTrans?
The 天美传媒 Qualifications听Certificate in Translation is a working-level qualification, set at degree level (Level 6). It is the responsibility of each candidate to ensure that they are sufficiently prepared for the exam, competent in both the source and target languages, have good writing skills and the ability to translate at a professional level.
It is essential that you read the full听Qualification Specification听which will provide you with detailed information about the qualification purpose and objectives, recommended level of linguistic proficiency, progression, unit format and assessment marking criteria.听

CertTrans Courses and Support
It is听good practice to prepare for a professional qualification by following a course of study. Courses in translation are available in different institutions and regions of the UK as well as at international study centres and universities. Please note that as the Awarding Organisation for the CertTrans, we are unable to endorse or recommend any particular course and selection is at your own discretion.
There are a growing number of course providers offering training and support for CertTrans candidates. Whether for an extensive period of study or听a short intensive burst of final preparation, it is worth looking at the many online resources, as well as the tuition and online course options these providers offer. For more see the CertTrans Courses & Support page.听
We have also provided answers to a number of frequently asked questions here.听
Past Papers
The best advice from course providers and tutors, and the most consistent demand from CertTrans candidates, is to be able to practise using past papers.
We are obliged to complete each exam cycle before we can release past papers, but it has always been our wish to support CertTrans candidates with past papers to help you, course providers and tutors to assess the difficulty level and better enable exam practice.听CertTrans texts and papers are commissioned in a way which enables us to share them - this is part of the qualification design. A selection of past papers is available听here.

Units
The CertTrans is composed of three units. Unit 01 is the mandatory core unit听which must be selected,听then you need to select one other mandatory option unit from either Unit 02 or Unit 03.
Unit 01 - General Translation Skills
Unit 02 - Business and Commercial Translation Skills
Unit 03 - Government and Public Service Translation Skills
Both units that comprise this qualification must be successfully completed within a three year period for candidates to be awarded the full qualification. The three year full exam completion period applies from the first year that a candidate receives a unit certificate. Once a candidate has received a 鈥榩ass鈥� in any unit, they have two more years to successfully complete the outstanding part of the qualification. Candidates successful in both units will be awarded full electronic qualification certificates.
