You must notify the Examinations department of the need for a translator at the Intent to Enter stage of an in-person exam application or when requesting a remote exam session, whichever is applicable.
You will then need to download the translator declaration form and application requirements here.
The translator declaration form must be completed for each examination that the candidate enters. The signed declaration form must be sent via email to the relevant Examinations department within 5 working days of the examination date.
Please note:
- The translator is organised by the teacher/school principal and should be a responsible adult who acts as an interpreter between the candidate and examiner.
- The translator reports to the teacher/school principal and must be a person acceptable to them and capable of translating the examination in full.
- The translator should not be the candidate’s tutor or teacher. On no account may a relative, friend or peer of the candidate be used as a translator.
