There are four sets of standards available:

Languages

These standards cover the skills and knowledge needed to use a language in a work setting. They can be applied to any language and in any work context. There are:

• 4 skills: understand, speak/sign, read and write.
• 7 levels: from basic to complex and specialist.

This means that learners can choose specific standards at a level that is most suitable for them.

Intercultural Skills

These standards cover the skills and knowledge needed to work with people from different countries or diverse cultures in ways that promote open and respectful interaction, better understanding and improved performance - both in the UK and internationally.

Translation

These standards cover what individuals need to do, and the knowledge and skills they need to be competent professional translators. They describe core aspects of translation performance at both professional and advanced levels, as well as relevant support activities such as project management and mentoring colleagues.

Interpreting

These standards cover what individuals need to do, and the knowledge and skills they need to be competent, professional interpreters. They also include standards that cover the requirements of trainee interpreters
