Registration Fees from September 2012

The Board has set out the fees we will charge individual professionals for the year starting 1 September 2012. This is as part of a four-year plan to achieve greater consistency in our fees policy across all the professions we regulate.

Over the past two years we have kept fees the same, mindful of the pressures on communication professionals across the country, and this despite making considerable improvements to the service we offer. Our plan for the next few years is to further strengthen our regulatory functions and take a much more co-ordinated approach to promoting the benefits of registration to the public, service users and decision makers.

We continue to receive generous financial support from Signature Trustees, for which we are very grateful. This means we can resource our plans and keep increases in fees to a minimum while pursuing our ultimate aim of protecting the titles of the professions we regulate by legally reserving use of terms like Sign Language Interpreter for only those who are appropriately trained and regulated.

Fees for the period 1 September 2012 - 31 August 2013 will be:

Registered Sign Language Interpreter	£185
Trainee Sign Language Interpreter	£125
Registered Sign Language Translator	£185
Trainee Sign Language Translator	£125
Registered Lipspeaker	£135
Trainee Lipspeaker	£75
Registered Speech to Text Reporter	£135
Trainee Speech to Text Reporter	£75
Registered Interpreter for Deafblind People	£135
Trainee Interpreter for Deafblind People	£75
Registered Electronic Notetaker	£135
