The CCHI's primary certification is the Certified Healthcare Interpreter (CHI), which is designed to assess and validate the qualifications of interpreters working in healthcare settings.
The Certified Healthcare Interpreter-Spanish (CHI-Spanish) is a specialized certification offered by CCHI for interpreters who work with Spanish-speaking patients in healthcare environments.
The CCHI certification exam consists of two main components: a written exam and an oral exam. There is no personal interview as part of the certification process.
The CCHI certification focuses specifically on assessing the interpreter's ability to provide accurate and culturally competent interpretation in healthcare environments, where specialized knowledge is crucial.
Obtaining the CHI certification provides official recognition of an interpreter's specialized skills in healthcare settings, enhancing their professional credibility and job prospects in the field.
