Do you plan to have any Continuing Education workshops for Spanish Court Interpreters (skill building) for the remaining of 2010 or 2011- 8 hour duration approx.??
Hello, I wrote to you a couple of moths ago asking for information about interpreter courses to become a court interpreter. I have just relocated in Florida and I would like to receive a virtual tour of the website. I think I would like to complete the basic three unit course and with this aspire to take the state test. i was looking at the website and I was wondering what type of certification is given at the end of the course? Are you approved by the ATA or any type of interpreters asociation? Also I wanted to know what materials are included with this course since I was going to purchase Acebo interpreters edge.
Thank You very much,
awaiting for your response,
Marilyn Santiago
It is very nice to hear from you again.
I will provide you my availabilities for a virtual tour in a separate email. The tour takes about 15-20 minutes + Q&As and is being conducted via SKYPE.
We don’t offer ACEBO exercises in our course; we have developed our own exercises. ACEBO is a wonderful resource, and I definitely encourage you to use it for your interpretation practice. The main advantages of our courses are
- the feedback regarding your performance provided by our language-specific instructor
- a comprehensive overview of the U.S. judicial system
- extensive glossaries
Upon a successful completion of the course, you will receive Certificate of Completion. Interpreter Education Online has been approved as a provider of interpreter education in many states, Florida included.
