1What it is
A degree-level professional qualification, with Modern Standard Arabic among its languages in both directions with English. It combines a general translation unit with a specialist unit of the candidate's choice: business or government and public service. It is the step before CIOL's Diploma in Translation (DipTrans).
2Who it suits
Early-career and freelance translators, and those seeking work with language companies and international organisations.
3What it requires
No formal requirement; CIOL expects command of both languages sufficient for professional translation.
4How it is earned
An online exam in CIOL's virtual centre, in announced sittings. Holders may apply for CIOL membership.
