Translators may soon be able to take exams for a UK-based pro fessional body’s diploma in translation (DipTrans) in India. The first exam in the country is going to be conducted at a training company in Pune in January 2016.
The Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL) offers it outside the UK due to its international content (other qualifications have UK-specific components).Every year, of the roughly 1,000 candidates who take the exam, about 40% do so outside Britain.
Aspirants should be experienced, practising translators, aged at least 19, to be able to apply for the Master’s-level credential, which requires a strong grip over the chosen languages. While the institute does not provide preparatory training, it suggests they could study a course offered by third parties. More.

I feel that Asian translators need not travel to UK in order to take exams for this accreditation. Why not joint with it?
In Thailand, my country, translators are not certified since we lack the national standard for this professional service. The UK standard should do well with such the purpose.
