How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer CIOL Qualifications has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and CIOL Qualifications awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from CIOL Qualifications.
The CIOL Qualifications Level 7 Diploma in Translation is a vocationally-related qualification for translators. It allows learners to develop advanced translation skills across a range of semi-specialised texts.
These are the units CIOL Qualifications registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with CIOL Qualifications. It does the teaching and the mapping. CIOL Qualifications sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

The credits, and who awards them
Level 7 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by CIOL Qualifications rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
