If you work with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), now is a great time to look forward and plan ahead. New MoJ contracts from October 2026 will bring updated qualification standards. Getting qualified early helps you access more work and take advantage of better opportunities as demand continues to grow.
Why MoJ Interpreting?
MoJ work offers flexible, meaningful assignments that support the UK’s complex justice system. With over 2,000 interpreters already registered, demand continues to grow – especially for interpreters with recognised qualifications.
A Clear, Simple Qualification Path
The new MoJ framework is set to make career progression clearer than ever:
- Level 3 – Community Standard
Suitable for predictable, non-specialist work across MoJ and other public services. A strong starting point. - Level 6 – Professional Standard
Required for courts and complex hearings. Leads to higher-level, better-paid assignments.
Why Upskill Now?
- More work opportunities across courts, tribunals and public services
- Professional recognition that shows your skills and commitment
- A clear route to higher earnings with Level 6 qualifications
Build a Career That Fits Around You
