Hi!
Give the interpreter an IELTS test and look for an outcome of Band 8.
ATB,
David.

>It would be really helpful if you could give some advice about how to
>access an interpreter's level of English. We have an interpreter who we
>are working with but one particular service provider (an immigration
>solicitor) gave feedback that they didn't feel the interpreters English
>was at a high enough level for their purposes. This was about 9 months
>ago and the interpreter was given the feedback and advice on how to
>improve their English. The interpreter would now like their English to
>be reassessed so see if it has improved enough to take on this type of
>work. Do you have any ideas or advice about how to undertake this kind
>of assessment.
