No training can guarantee a passing score, but this workshop is designed to make your practice smarter, more focused, and aligned with how performance is actually evaluated. You’ll leave with clearer expectations, concrete tools, and a personalized strategy to keep improving.
The examples and scenarios will focus primarily on healthcare, especially settings like mental health and pediatrics, because they align with national medical interpreter exams. However, the techniques and strategies you learn can be applied to many other interpreting contexts.
No. Basic interpreting experience is recommended, but you do not need to be an expert in simultaneous. This workshop is appropriate for interpreters who are new to simultaneous as well as those who have tried it and want to improve.
