Step 1:
- Review the ATA Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.
Step 2:
- If you work as a translator, take the Self-Evaluation Questionnaire for Translators.
- If you work as an interpreter, take the Self-Evaluation Questionnaire for Interpreters.
- If you work as both a translator and interpreter, complete both questionnaires.
Step 3:
- Sign the Verification Statement. Retain a copy of this signed verification statement to submit along with your CEPs at the end of your reporting period.
If you have any questions, please contact the Certification Program Manager.
