Interpreter Training
April 22, 23, 24, 2009
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Interpreters will receive training on: their role and responsibilities; cultural competencies; specialized interpretation techniques; medical procedures and terminology; and problem-solving skills and strategies. Class participants must attend all three modules to be eligible for certification. At the conclusion of the training, participants complete a written post-test and participate in a role-play assessment of their interpretation skills and their language ability. Those who achieve passing scores receive a certificate.

Note: Priority will be given to interpreters who work/volunteer in health/human services settings or who accompany patients to health care appointments in Chester County. This is not a remedial language course. Class participants must be fluent in English and another language.

Cost: $150
