Oral Proficiency Testing

The Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) is a well-respected measure of interpreter skills in the language field. Metaphrasis uses this interview to assess their own interpreters, and now they can bring this testing straight to you.

Schedule an on-site OPI testing for groups of 10 or more through Metaphrasis today. Results are good for one year and can be used to apply for national certification.
