I am a full member of the National Register of Public Service Interpreters (specialising in law), which means that I have passed their stringent entrance examination, fulfil their strict membership criteria, I am security-cleared, I am accountable, and my performance is continually monitored by other language professionals. The 'National Register' is administered by NRPSI Ltd, a wholly owned and 'not for profit' subsidiary of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, the UK's largest language professional body, established in 1910.
