Cintra works with a continually expanding pool of highly-skilled, UK-based linguists.

We apply the highest standards of registration to ensure an excellent service. To register with us, interpreters and translators must be trained and qualified to the required professional standards. Our linguists are assessed and security-vetted as part of the registration process, and are required to follow our Code of Conduct of confidentiality and impartiality.

Cintra is one of the few agencies with its own in-house interpreter training and Diploma in Public Services in Interpreting exam centre.  Through our specially devised courses, foreign language speakers who are new to interpreting can be trained and assessed and start working, before obtaining further qualifications, including the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting.

Cintra values its interpreters and translators and recognises their professionalism and the complexity of their work.  Our linguists’ well-being and continuing professional development are important to us.  Activities and resources we offer include interpreter networking events, counselling services, skills development courses, briefing papers and newsletters.

Our linguists work with us on a freelance basis on assignments at any time of day or night at any day of the year.  If you are interested in working with us, please follow the relevant link on the left.
