No, FCCPT does not accept translation documents from the applicant unless it is the diploma.
FCCPT has specific requirements for translated educational documents. If your academic records were not originally issued in English, FCCPT must first receive and review the original-language documents from the issuing institution. After the documents are received and approved, FCCPT will send you instructions regarding the translation process along with the original language documents. FCCPT's translation requirements must be followed for the translations to be accepted.
Why Can't FCCPT Accept Any Translation?
FCCPT requires that translations meet strict standards. Acceptable translations must:
- Be completed by a professional or certified translator.
- Include a signed certification of accuracy.
- Be accompanied by a copy of the original-language document that FCCPT sends the applicant.
- Follow FCCPT's specific submission requirements.
Translations completed by family members, friends, professors, or other unqualified individuals are not accepted.
What Should I Do Instead?
- Arrange for your school or other issuing institution to send the required documents directly to FCCPT.
- If the documents are not available in English, wait for FCCPT's email with the documents and instructions before arranging translations.
