Technical Committee

The Consortium's Technical Committee is responsible for matters related to test development,  test administration, test rating, and test overviews, statistics, and psychometric analyses.  It develops and revises the Consortium's administration, rating, and test development manuals, including helpful overview documents for examinees taking the oral and written tests.  In addition, the Technical Committee publishes reports relating to the Consortium's examinations and activities, and gathers resources helpful to potential interpreters, such as glossaries, dictionaries, and other aids.

In additional the Technical Committee created and published Practice Examination Kits in All English and Spanish/English to help interpreters prepare for the Consortium's oral examination.
