Trans Gulf Management Consultants becomes UAE exam center for Chartered Institute of Linguists diploma

Trans Gulf Management Consultants (TGMC) was recently named the first approved United Arab Emirates exam center for the qualifying exam of London's Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL) diploma in translation.

The Institute of Linguists Educational Trust (IoLET) diploma in translation is a postgraduate qualification for those seeking a career as a professional translator.

"Increasing interest in the IoLET translation exam from within the Gulf region, and in particular the UAE, has been significant," IoLET Business Development Manager Matthias Postel said. "And since this professional translation qualification is of international relevance, we endeavor to make it more accessible to candidates across the world."

The qualifying exam is given every January and is composed of three units, including written translation of general and semi-specialized text. The exam is available in numerous languages including Arabic, Hindi, Chinese and Danish.

"We are delighted to welcome TGMC as the first IoLET examination center in the UAE for our diploma in translation," Postel said. "With a rich regional business history, and as a provider of translators' training and vocational courses, we believe that TGMC is well positioned to manage the assessment of our candidates."
