I translate documents. Can this be considered performance-based training?

No, translating a document in itself or research in connection with such translation is not considered to be continuing education.

CCHI defines performance based (PB) training as training aimed to improve the healthcare interpreter’s skills in the three interpreting modes – consecutive, simultaneous and sight translation and, also, in translation (maximum 8 hours are allowed). PB courses must include instructor-led practice (in-person or online). Online courses do not need to have a human instructor but must be structured in a way that allows the student to practice the three modes of interpreting or to practice translation and receive some feedback or model translation of assignments. The same applies to the online interpreting courses.
