Training
What do the levels mean?
This year, we have introduced training levels to allow our customers to better understand the required expertise for each kind of course. These are only guidelines; no requirement is absolute, and only you know what level of training will fit your needs. From now on, you will see an icon next to each course we offer which will tell you more about the course
Level 1
I am bilingual, however, I have little or no understanding of the interpretation profession. I am interested in learning more about the skills needed to become an interpreter and how I can become certified
Level 2
I have been interpreting for some time. I am familiar with the skills and required methodology, however, I still have some questions and would like to improve my skills
Level 3
I have several years of experience. I am intimately familiar with the code of ethics, all three modes of interpretation, and my role as an interpreter. I am State or Federally certified, or I have completed a "level 2" course in the past, and I want to build upon my expertise.
