MasterWord Institute is launching a season of preparatory courses for you to ace CCHI’s ETOE exam. Each episode of this season corresponds to one section of the exam.
They contain an explanation of the exam section, activities to practice the exam section followed by self-assessment activities to help you better your answers, and details on what to expect on exam day.
Purchase all seven episodes in our ETOE Prep Course and save nearly 30%. This is for those of you who want all episodes to fully prepare for CCHI’s ETOE CHI-P exam.
The links below are for individual episodes, if you which to purchase only some of the series:
Episode 1 covers listening comprehension;
Episode 2 covers shadowing;
Episode 3 covers memory capacity;
Episode 4 covers restate of meaning;
Episode 5 covers equivalence of meaning;
Episode 6 covers reading comprehension; and
Episode 7 covers speaking skills in your language other than English.
Each episode includes activities that mimic the exam for your practice and assessment. This season is much more than honing your skills in each section. It allows you to get familiarized with the exam structure and dedicate your exam time to answering the questions themselves. You will take 1 hour at most to complete each episode, which means the entire season adds up to 7 hours of study.
MasterWord hopes you enjoy this season and watch out for future seasons of other preparatory courses we will launch in the future!
Background:
CCHI has offered an independent, national, comprehensive certification program to medical interpreters of all languages since 2009. One of them is the CoreCHI-Performance Certification, a certification for interpreters of all languages. It includes two exams: the knowledge CoreCHI exam and the performance English-to-English, or ETOE, exam. All CoreCHI certificants qualify to take the ETOE exam and earn the CoreCHI-P certification. As of 2023, transitioning to the CoreCHI-P certification is voluntary. Starting in 2025, this transition will become mandatory, and the CoreCHI certificants will have to earn the CoreCHI-P certification within 1-2 years.
The ETOE exam is time-limited and is 60 minutes long. It is a medical interpreter monolingual performance exam and consists of seven sections that assess various interpreting cognitive skills.
