Description

The NAD-RID National Interpreter Certification (NIC) exam is a new paradigm. Many candidates are unfamiliar with the new testing procedures, and are unsure what to expect during the actual exam. This can heighten anxiety, preventing candidates from representing themselves as well as possible.

This workshop will introduce participants to the interview portion of the NIC exam, providing guidance through the practice DVD, and instruction on procedure and methods for responding to ethical scenarios. The interview rating rubric will be discussed in detail, and a formulaic method for responding will be presented. Candidates will know what issues to cover and how to address them when responding.

While no test content will be shared or discussed, candidates will be able to feel comfortable with testing procedures and confident about being able to accurately represent themselves.

Topics we will cover

  • An overview of the NIC interview format (You will know what to expect)
  • The NIC interview rating rubric in depth (You will know what to address)
  • A formula with modeling of how to respond to the ethical scenarios (You will know how to respond)
  • Systematic practice responding to ethical scenarios per the interview rating rubric
