I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I've seen interpreters who passed their CI or CT but my suspicion is they barely squeaked through, and yet because they are "certified" they are presumed to be qualified for all kinds of jobs. (I'm sure Richard will be thrilled to leap in here and confirm.)
On the other hand, I agree with you about the difficulty that can arise when people are assigned levels, especially when test rating is so subjective. (They say it's an objective system but come on...to paraphrase my teacher, "it all depends on what the rater had for breakfast that morning.") I'm sure we'll see level 2's who are much more skilled than level 5's, or however the levels go. And I thought the point of the CI/CT was to work differently from the NAD's test. Strange that they went back to levels when they designed the NIC.
