In addition to the LITP programs, there are community-based interpreter training programs that are delivered by interpretation service provider (ISP) agencies.
The OCCI's accreditation framework will include a means by which interpreters who have successfully completed community-based interpreter training will be recognized for this prior learning. The Prior Learning Assessment Recognition (PLAR) component is being developed to ensure a standardized mechanism through which community interpreters may obtain recognition for the competency training they received outside the formal LITP education program.
Please follow the links to learn more about the community-based interpreter training programs available throughout Ontario.
