Interpreter Certification To be considered for employment by Omniverbal, all interpreters must meet a high standard of skill and professionalism and be completely capable and competent to handle a wide range of assignment types. As a result of the ability level expected at Omniverbal, our interpreters that do not hold certifications generally compare favorably with certified interpreters. However, in various official settings, certification of interpreters may be required by law. Some of the various types of interpreter certification available are explained here. AO certified Certification by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts -- currently available for Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Navajo. FCCI Federally Certified Court Interpreters certification is granted by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts through its federal court interpreter examination which was first administered in 1980. Currently, federal certification is only available for interpreters of Spanish, Navajo, and Haitian Creole.
