Adopting a model based on developing expertise and the ability to engage in autonomous learning and continuing education creates the need for students to be able to self-assess in order to determine which elements to invest in. The use of the self-assessment form proposed by the PUC-Rio Interpreter Training is presented and its effects are discussed, after a theoretical discussion. The self-assessment tool proved to be effective not only in terms of the assessment itself, but in consolidating a clear and objective common language that structures the relationship between students and teachers and between students themselves and offers other benefits.
