Preparing Professional Interpreters.™
That's all we do!
Starting a career as an interpreter or deciding to get nationally certified is big decision. It is common to have butterflies and be filled with the excitement of helping others and getting paid to do it. If you have not done your research, though, it also can overwhelming! We encourage you to take 10 minutes--perhaps the most important 10 minutes of your new career--to learn about our services and what many other training companies hope you don't find out. Regardless of whether you choose Interpreter University for your training, we want you to be knowledgeable and make the best choice. The more consumers know, the more our profession grows and improves.
Whether you prefer learning at your own pace in pajamas or actively participating in a live-instruction course with other students, we offer flexible options of training right for beginners and seasoned interpreters.
ViewYou've had a minimum of 40 hours of interpreter training, but you're hesitant to take the big step and register for national certification? Let us help you feel confident. Take our practice tests and know you're ready!
ViewThe step where all interpreters should begin! A training without a language assessment is practically worthless. You will use the results of this important tool the rest of your career. Understand your fluency today!
ViewWhew! That certification was a lot of work. Don't lose it! Stay up-to-date with changes to the profession, learn new vocabulary, or explore an unfamiliar medical specialization. Click here for our CEU offerings.
ViewIf you take away nothing else from your visit to our website, let it be this: every legitimate interpreting program requires a fluency assessment PRIOR to registration in the course. Beware of courses that do not! That is why Interpreter University provides a free Language Assessment for every interpreting course of 40 hours or more. (*You pay for the initial language assessment, and we provide you with a discount code for $150 off of your training.)
With the rising popularity of online and virtual training, many companies take advantage of interested students that do not know about industry requirements and best practices. They allow anyone to take the training. Sometimes, their students don't know the professional level of their language skills. Are the professionally proficient? (That is the requirement for a healthcare interpreter!) Therefore, they invest their time, energy, and a lot of hard-earned money into a training and when an employer eventually requires a formal language assessment, they unfortunately discover their language skills are not sufficient to be a professional interpreter.
Why do we offer this free assessment when no other online training company does? We care about the Ethics of our profession and we believe that our professional Ethics extend to those who choose to learn with us. Simply put, we care about you and your hard-earned money. With most other online interpreter training companies, you may spend $700, or $1000, or even more, before discovering the formal measurement level of bilingual fluency. Not with Interpreter University. Your maximum up-front investment is $150 until you understand where your fluency rates on a formal scale. The cost of the assessment ends up being free if you take an interpreting course of 40 hours or more with us, because we give you a coupon code worth $150 to redeem toward the cost of your training! Remember that after your training, in order to get nationally certified, you will still be required to provide results from a formal language assessment. With IU, you're already two steps ahead!
Highly Recommended! I have received prior interpreting trainings in the past but they do not come close to the high quality training received in this course!
The instructor is so knowledgeable on this subject and really made it fun to learn. I think I speak for the entire class when I say we would gladly sit in class again for another opportunity to learn with him!
The best training available! I now have such a different view and attitude towards interpretation. The lecture on culture was incredible.
If you are interested in learning from a great human being about the beautiful service of how become a professional and empathetic Interpreter, this is the course that you want to get with Manuel.
The course went far beyond my expectations. It was full of excellent information. I can't wait to take the certification prep course now.
This course was amazing. Zero complaints. Please keep doing this course the way you are doing it. This was so amazing and I learned a whole lot.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Manuel as an educator. I took the 40 hour healthcare course and the written certification practice course with him. He is knowledgeable, patient, organized, and engaging. I loved his classes and highly recommend them. Thank you for your expertise in teaching, time and effort. You put my mind at ease!
This is an amazing program with an excellent instructor who is always prepared and ready to answer any of your questions. Also always making sure that you understand all the concepts. The instructor’s passion about the material really increases retention of the material in his students!
The instructor did an excellent job with this course. It was incredibly helpful, specially when it came to really increase my confidence in a way that I never expected. I definitely appreciate everything he has done to encourage me to take the CCHI exam. Thank you!
Great instructor and course. After taking this course, I am much more comfortable preparing for the certification exam because I know what interpreting concepts I am well versed in and which ones I need to work and improve in. Time and money well spent.
This was an excellent course. The instructor masters the subject. He explains how to analyze any type of situation you might encounter. He also shares tons of real-life examples to illustrate different situations that may occur in interpreting settings. I highly recommend this course.
I wish that every hospital employee could take this course. It has so much information that will help me to be a better bilingual staff worker at my hospital. Besides training me on how to be an interpreter, the course taught me how to speak professionally about the laws and regulatory compliance around Language Access. I feel so empowered to help our patients with limited English proficiency!
First time I had a virtual course, my opinion is that Manuel was a very good instructor and that helped a lot for me to learn and enjoy the class. Very professional and willing to help all the time. Thanks to the tech support for help/fast response of any issues I had during the course as well. I am so glad my hospital leadership gave me the opportunity to take this course. Thank you.
This course is valuable in learning how to adequately interpret for our patients. We always want to do right by our patients and in order to do this we need to ensure things are done correctly. I have been interpreting for years and it is not until taking this course that I truly understand my role.
Interpreter University picked the right trainer for this program! Manuel is a great teacher for this course. He is enthusiastic, professional and very knowledgeable.
It was very informative and helped me better understand all of the roles in health care interpreting. It also gave me guidance and information I would not have gotten elsewhere about how to be a medical interpreter and bilingual care-giver.
Everything that was taught in class was explained very well. Instructor took the time to respond to us if we had any questions. He kept the class on track and made it so interesting. It was so easy to pay attention through the entire course. Definitely not a normal boring virtual training!
The course is easy to follow and then apply the learned knowledge from it in the in-home assignments. Thank you for providing this course! :-) Please keep providing interpreters with excellent services!
