Interpreting for the Translator Qualification Examination in Japanese

I teach Japanese and am familiar with the industry.

First of all, this "Japanese interpreting certificate" is too inconspicuous. What is the full name?

As far as I know, the more well-known one at present is the Shanghai Intermediate Advanced Interpreting Qualification Certificate issued by Shanghai, which is common in the surrounding areas of Shanghai, and is open in 97, and the written test is available in many places across the country, and the oral test needs to be taken in Shanghai (Shanghai and the surrounding areas around Shanghai).

The other is the National Translation Grading Certificate Level 3 and Level 2 Nationwide Launched in 05 (although it is used nationwide, it is obviously not as well-known in Shanghai as the interpreting certificate that was opened in 97).

Shanghai Intermediate Japanese Interpreter The recognition in the area around Shanghai is still relatively high, after all, it was launched in 97.

Intermediate and advanced English interpreting has been fully popularized, while Japanese is not as widespread as English, but its influence is still quite large. There are test centers in many places across the country, but there is only one test center in Shanghai.

Written examination in March and September every year, the registration time is December (in March) and June (in September), after passing the written test, take the oral test (take the next month), listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation, this exam is divided into intermediate and senior interpreters after the reform in 07, the original previous only one level, because it is very rare, the number of people who pass is very low, so it was reformed in 07 years, and now the difficulty of intermediate interpretation is greatly reduced. (If you pass Level 1, you won't be able to pass it.)

Generally speaking, the written test is relatively easy (at most, the translation is a little difficult, but not very much), and the oral test is more difficult.

Then you have to draw a topic, prepare for a little 10 minutes, and then give an impromptu speech on stage for about 3-5 minutes. (There are various topics, such as the World Expo, environmental protection, air pollution, Japan's aging and declining birthrate, the Olympics and other hot topics) After passing the written test, there are 2 years, that is, 4 chances, the oral test, and only after passing the oral test can you get the certificate.

There are three main types: sponsored by the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Education, the Organization Department of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, the Personnel Bureau, and the Education Bureau.

The names of the exams are:

The National Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination, also known as the Catti National Foreign Language Translation Certificate Examination.
