If you would like to join AICE you must send an application letter to the Chair of the Association together with a Curriculum Vitae.

Once the application has been received, the Candidates Committee and the Board assess each candidate’s competences, to see whether they meet the following requirements:

• The applicant must prove their experience as a conference interpreter regarding the ethical, professional and confidentiality conditions required by the Association.   
• The applicant must have two native languages or two active languages and one passive language.  Applicants with only two active languages may be admitted as members of AICE if they meet exceptional conditions. 
• The applicants must prove to be in possession of a university degree and have a high level of culture.  

If appropriate, the Board will refer the application for admission to the relevant Language Committee in order that it may prove the applicant’s interpreting skills according to AICE’s applicant assessment procedure, and draft the ensuing report.

The General Assembly will use this report to make a decision on the applicant’s admission as a candidate for a minimum period of one year.  

During this period, the applicant’s competency will be continuously assessed and in due course, the General Assembly will decide by majority vote whether the candidate will become a full-fledged member.
