We teach three categories of professional online training programs to ensure that our students are comfortably placed in an appropriate e-learning environment with regard to their skills and experience.

Our regular Professional 60-Hour Medical Interpreter Training Program, our Fast Track Program for Bilingual Healthcare Professionals, and our 40-Hour General Interpreting Program all include assessments in both languages and are designed to build a strong foundation of medical terminology and of the ethical role, standards, techniques, and principles of accurate professional medical interpreting.

What they say about our programs:

I have found the course format very usable and have greatly appreciated the significant investment that Marlene makes as the instructor--she is always prompt in replying to student questions and also in grading coursework. Thanks Marlene! Nathan, Graduate, English-Spanish Program

I enjoyed the medical terminology courses. I learned many new things while reading the lessons. Now I have a better understanding of things when I’m interpreting. When a physician is talking to a patient about their condition or illness, I, in the back of my mind have a better understanding of the cause or the symptoms. This, for some reason, helps me know if the patient fully understands the diagnosis or if they need further clarification. Rosa, Graduate, English-Spanish Program

I had a wonderful time taking this course, it took me longer than expected but here I am. I feel much more confident with what I am doing. Now I feel that the patient and provider will get the service they deserve from me. I am very HAPPY! Thank You!! Anna, Rockford, Illinois. Graduate, English-Spanish Program
