Assessment and entry considerations

Assessment: Role-specific speaking, listening, reading and writing tasks; review of a healthcare English role-play portfolio; individual feedback against agreed language targets.

Entry and recognition: Language diagnostic assessment and a role-specific learning goal; interpreting and translation routes require demonstrated competence in both working languages.

Practice boundaries: Initial language assessment determines entry and learning targets. The stated hours do not guarantee a language level, an occupational licence or approval as a legal/medical interpreter.

Credential status: Proposed BEMCON programme only. No registered award, framework level, credit value or external certification is assigned.

Duration basis: Original curriculum-planning estimate, not an official prescribed qualification duration. The approved qualification specification, entry assessment and mandatory placement requirements take precedence.
