Tools to support CBC

The tools and templates below can be use to support your use of CBC and Competency Manager for translation consultant growth plans.

  • Blank mentoring report aligned with CBC (Oct 2024)This is a report that a mentor can use to reflect on a CiT’s level of competence in each of the CBC competencies as they observe them during a consulting session.
    • Please download or make a copy of the blank report for your own use.
    • Check back here for the most up to date version of the template if an when the competencies are updated.
    • Earlier versions: June 2022
  • Check-list for TCiTs (SIL EAA). A possible checklist to use for tracking the breadth of consultant experience a CiT acquires, eg. checking different genres, types of translation and virtual or face to face checks, which is not easily tracked in Competency Manager. This can be uploaded to the Consultant-in-Training’s secure folder on Competency Manager to aid a certification panel in their deliberations.
  • Guidelines for Mentors of Translation Consultants in Training A document developed by SIL Francophone Africa to help those mentoring Consultants in Training using the competency-based approach to consultant development.
  • Using Competency Manager to track experience. This document explains some of the ways that you can set up the user profile in Competency Manager to track things like language project experience or progress through various mentored checks.
