[Info] [Dates] The ATA certification program was implemented in 1973. More than 2,000 ATA members are currently certified, many in more than one language pair. A testament to a translator's professional competence to translate from one specific language to another, certification is awarded after a candidate passes an open-book examination administered under controlled conditions. It is possible to be a member of ATA without being certified. (Most of ATA's 10,000 members are not certified.) |
