Assessment and entry considerations
Assessment: Role-specific speaking, listening, reading and writing tasks; review of a supervised community interpreting 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.
