The article presents an overview of the certification process by which potential
translators and interpreters demonstrate minimum standards of performance to warrant
official or professional recognition of their ability to translate or interpret and to practise
professionally in Australia, Canada, the USA and Ukraine. The aim of the study is to
research and to compare the certification procedures of translators and interpreters in
Australia, Canada, the USA and Ukraine; to outline possible avenues of creating a
certification system network in Ukraine. It has been revealed that there is great variation in
minimum requirements for practice, availability of training facilities and formal bodies that
certify practitioners and that monitor and advance specialists’ practices in the countries.
Certification can be awarded by governmental or non-governmental organisations or
associations of professionals in the field of translation/interpretation. Testing has been
acknowledged as the usual avenue for candidates to gain certification. There are less
popular grounds to get certification such as: completed training, presentation of previous
relevant experience, and/or recommendations from practising professionals or serviceuser.
The comparative analysis has revealed such elements of the certification procedures
and national conventions in the researched countries that may form a basis for Ukrainian
translators/interpreters certifying system and make it a part of a cross-national one.
