Educational Interpreting for in-house and freelance interpreters
EMPOWERING YOU THROUGH TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT TO HELP YOU PROVIDE THE BEST LANGUAGE SERVICES POSSIBLE
To be a professional interpreter you must have the right training, basic qualifications, and knowledge as required by the state, Department of Education, and by the interpreting industry.
- Are you Bilingual and Fluent in 2 or more languages?
- Want to become a professional interpreter?
- Learn what it takes, what you need, and how to how to become a professional interpreter.
Don’t let ANYONE discourage you or tell you that you can’t become an interpreter.
Just like ANY business sector being bilingual is just a “stepping stone” but it’s also a path to becoming a great professional interpreter if you have the right training!
Get the Training and Process You Need to:
Start Your Career
language skills
Ability to speak 2 or more languages fluently.
terminology
Understand and learn the terminology for the business sector you want to pursue.
business skills
Learn the skills needed to start and grow your business including; A/P, A/R, CSR, SEO, Sales & Marketing just to name a few.
- Keep in mind that there are many online and offline Interpreter training programs offered through institutions of higher education nationwide.
- We also know that some prospective interpreters may have a Bachelor’s Degree in Interpreting, but that’s still not enough to become a professional interpreter.
- Also, keep in mind that most companies, agencies, don’t require certification, and sometimes they don’t require experience.
Regardless of what programs you have attended or degrees if you don’t have the experience, skills, qualifications, or experience – you may NOT be qualified to render and provide the services of a professional and experienced interpreter.
Therefore, I strongly believe that any business hiring and/or contracting a bilingual staff member to perform the duties of a professional interpreter should require at least a minimum of 2 years of professional interpreting experience, as well as other requirements.

About Me
I’ve been a professional interpreter for over 20 years.
- I Know the ins/outs of this industry.
- Understanding the requirements of this industry.
- And, I know what it takes to provide professional and ethical interpreting services, but I also how to operate an agency.
Furthermore, I know that many interpreters, interpreting agencies, businesses will hire/contract just about anyone (just to book the assignment) which in return can potentially put your business and the LEPs at RISK!
But more importantly, even with my 20 years of professional, hands-on experience, and professional training, I still don’t have the capabilities to provide interpreting services for every business sector or setting.
That is why I can guarantee you that I will ONLY ACCEPT assignments that I feel that I am qualified, experienced, and competent to do.
I can also assure you that I will provide you with the training and my experience to help you do the same! DON’T PUT YOUR BUSINESS AT RISK!
Unfortunately, I cannot say the same thing for many companies, they THINK that just because an individual is bilingual or certified that they are able to perform and provide interpreting services in all business sectors and settings and unfortunately, that is NOT the case!
Another problem is that companies think interpreters are “dictionaries” and many companies expect you to know every single term, industry, etc, unfortunately, that is so far from the truth.
Therefore, when hiring or contracting an “interpreter” you need to make sure they have the skill sets, language industry terminology, training, and experience to help you with your assignment.
