All applications are rigorously assessed by a panel of assessors, and there are two rounds of evaluation.

First, applications are evaluated based on the quality and relevance of applicants’ capability development programme(s) against their capability development objectives, their track record, and their commitment to the development of translation and interpretation in Singapore.

Applicants who are shortlisted for a panel interview will be further evaluated on their drive to pursue mastery in their skills, commitment to community service and resilience.
