It seems to be widely accepted that interpreter training and the implementation of credentialing certification tests as means of gatekeeper to the profession are crucial elements within the professionalisation process of legal interpreting (court and police interpreting etc.). However, quite often, these two elements are set up independently and without any relationship between each other. Taking advantage of the current situation in Spain, where the full transposition of EU Directive 2010/64 on interpreting and translation in criminal proceedings has not yet been accomplished, this paper aims at reviewing some aspects that shape legal interpreter training, which, in turn, contribute to different training models. Likewise, different professional accreditation models will be analysed so as to establish their relationship with training factors. Based on this analysis, we will later focus on the current situation in Spain. Our goal is to explore different pathways towards the full professionalisation of an activity the ultimate goal of which is to guarantee the right to due process and a fair trial.Downloads
