Greetings and Welcome to Culture Advantage Online Medical Interpreter Training
Are you looking for an online medical interpreter training that you can complete at your own pace?
You can now train for medical interpreting through the Internet from the convenience of your home. As fast or as slow as you need to be, and at less expense.
NEW!!! Our English-Spanish Medical Interpreter Program has started! Click here for more information.
Hello, my name is Marlene Obermeyer, and I'm a nurse, a mother, and an online educator.
If you are a new interpreter, or even an experienced one, you can now learn or review medical terminology in English and Spanish.
Organizations can save money, time, and resources by outsourcing the lectures to our online course and spending more time on your hands-on inhouse training. Contact me for group rates of at least 5 trainees from your organization.
Click here: English-Spanish Medical Terminology Course to go to the English-Spanish Medical Interpreter Training Program Description. We provide personal service therefore enrollment is limited. Please register early to place your name on our waiting list.
About Marlene
As an adult, I went back to school several years ago and I understand how taking time to learn, and at the same time take care of family, or working full-time, could be difficult. That is why I designed the Online Medical Interpreter Program to be flexible to meet the needs of people like myself.
My goal is to help people who are currently working, or have other life responsibilities, to be able to complete the Online Medical Interpreter Program without taking too much time away from home or from their families.
You will receive a CERTIFICATE of COMPLETION after successful completion of the online medical interpreter program.
This program will prepare you to work as a hospital interpreter, or a clinic interpreter, or a community healthcare interpreter.
