National, inclusive, accredited medical interpreter certification. Meaningful Access to Health Care
About us
The Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters (CCHI) (www.cchicertification.org) serves the needs of bilingual, spoken-language healthcare interpreters committed to demonstrating their professional knowledge, skills and abilities by becoming certified based on national standards for competency assessment. At the same time, CCHI serves many stakeholders (healthcare providers and insurers, language agencies, government agencies, patients) who need qualified, certified, and competent healthcare interpreters to ensure effective communication between healthcare providers and patients to ensure access to high-quality healthcare. CCHI’s mission is to develop and maintain a national, valid, credible and vendor-neutral certification process: National – A portable credential that follows an interpreter throughout their career. Valid – The certification test measures what it intends to measure and is based on the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to competently perform the job of healthcare interpreting. Credible – Created by interpreters and other stakeholders, for interpreters and the public good. Vendor-Neutral – Developed from the ground up and not reliant on any existing certification, training, testing or assessment developed or licensed by other organizations. Further, no individual, organization, vendor or entity has any financial or other stake in CCHI’s program or its administration.
