FLORIDA COURT INTERPRETER CERTIFICATION AND REGULATION PROGRAM (CICRP)
Online Written Examination Portal
The Written Examination, developed by the Consortium for Language Access in the Courts, has been a required component of the Court Interpreters Program in Florida since July 1, 2002. This test is designed to measure a candidate’s knowledge of (1) general English language proficiency; and (2) court-related terms and usage, and ethics and professional conduct.
Attendance at the two day Orientation Workshop is a mandatory prerequisite to take the written examination. Your qualification status will be verified prior to your approval to take this exam.
Please note that the Orientation Workshop is not a preparation course for the written examination. It will be necessary for you to conduct independent study in order to successfully pass the written examination.
The CICRP has study materials available on our website to assist you. Please click the link below to access the three (3) documents containing study material.
