Want To Become A Remote Interpreter? Our Training Explained
Wondering how to utilize your language skills and become a remote interpreter? This might be the opportunity bilingual adults have been waiting for! Every single day, more Millennials, Gen-Z and younger professionals are rethinking their relationship with work. The traditional 9-5 jobs are being traded for remote work that is flexible and meaningful... and doesn't require spending years in school or a bunch of expensive loans to make it happen. In this guide, we break down what a remote interpreter is and why every bilingual adult looking for a career change should consider remote interpreting training course...
"What is a remote interpreter?"
A remote interpreter is a bilingual adult, who helps other people communicate with each other because they don't speak the same language. Remote interpreters do this in real-time, through internet access by using a variety of different equipment.
Finding work as a professional remote interpreter depends on whether you want to work for yourself as a freelance language interpreter, or for a an agency. Either way they must ensure accuracy and ethical integrity in every conversation they interpret. Some examples include:
- Medical interpreting between doctors and patients
- Public service interpreting between teachers and families
- Legal interpreting between case workers and clients
- Business interpreting between owners and job applicants
"But I am already a bilingual adult! Why do I need a training course?"
This is the biggest misconception, and we hear it all the time. If you want to work as a professional language interpreter then you need to go out and get formal training. No one is going to trust you with important work if you don't have any professional training or interpreter certification that proves you know how to do it.
It might seem harsh or unnecessary at first, but it's about trust and professionalism. The people who need language interpreting services must be sure that you know what you are doing. Would you trust a dental hygienist to surgically remove a tooth? They know how to clean teeth!
"What does a remote interpreter training course teach?"
Being bilingual is not enough to become a remote language interpreter. It is absolutely the first step, but it doesn't stop there. Because it is a skill that you must learn to perfect. People have serious, real-world situations that have consequences for your errors.
