The Chartered Linguist qualification was officially launched in Hong Kong on 13th November 2010. Local language educationalists, translators and interpreters, and those language professionals working in business, professions and government, who can demonstrate the highest levels of language skill, professionalism and competence, and commitment to the continuing professional development, can apply for the status. For the professional linguists, the chartered status is a mark of recognition and a valuable marketing tool in an increasingly competitive global business environment.

Procedures and interviews will be arranged in Hong Kong. For further information on the qualification and the application documents, please download the following files. Applications from mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau should be sent by registered mail to the office of the Chartered Institute of Linguists Hong Kong Society for initial processing.
