WRITTEN EXAM INFORMATION
The Written Examination is a basic overview of English and the language in
which you are seeking to work towards certification. You must pass this exam in order
to continue the certification process in Arkansas. Please remember this is not the
Language Exam that will certify you to interpret in the Arkansas Courts. That exam is
given once a year and you must complete the Witten Examination and the Orientation
Training before you can proceed to the next step. Further information regarding the
Written Examination will be mailed to participants with the registration confirmation.
