Inttranet selection criteria are designed
to ensure the quality of the services provided by the professional interpreters
and translators who are its members.
Applicants must:
1. be professional interpreters and/or translators;
2. have the appropriate academic qualifications or the equivalent professional
experience;
3. have at least three years' experience as a professional interpreter
and/or translator;
4. provide the appropriate professional references;
5. possess standard equipment in terms of word processing and telecommunications
resources: computer, word processing software and requisite fonts for
their mother tongue, modem, etc.
6. preferably be approved by a national or international interpreter and/or
translator organisation.
In addition, applicants are requested to provide
their Regional Administrator with the following documents by fax:
• their standard curriculum vitae
• a letter of recommendation from a professional colleague.
To request admission to the Inttranet, simply fill in the Application
Form.
The form is then submitted for evaluation by the appropriate Regional
Administrators and to the Webmaster for control. Regional Administrators
are selected on the basis of the criteria indicated above and appointed
for each language and country in the world.
Exclusion criteria
Applicants are automatically excluded:
• if any statements in the information requested to evaluate their
application are false.
Any member may be excluded:
• for committing serious infringements in professional conduct (breach
of confidentiality, non-performance of the agreed service, unjustified
breach of contract, acceptance of services for which the member is not
qualified, sub-contracting to non-qualified persons etc.),
• for not complying with Inttranet quality criteria and/or the ethical
standards of the profession.
Further to three complaints by three different customers concerning the
quality of the services provided by a member of the Inttranet, an enquiry
is instigated by the Regional Administrator: in the event of confirmation
of serious professional misconduct, or repeated professional errors, the
interpreter or translator is liable to exclusion from the network and
to permanent withdrawal of their identification file from the Inttranet
database.
