Linguist's network
All of our linguists hold industry-recognised qualifications, requiring them to meet a standard level of interpreting ability.
thebigword’s quality team, along with our QA interpreters, conduct quality assessments by running simulated calls in which interpreters are required to perform an interpretation in the same format as a live scenario. This helps us to assess and continuously develop their customer service skills, linguistic proficiency and knowledge of key terms, highlighting any areas for development to ensure that we continue to deliver our outstanding telephone interpreting service.
