Interpreter classes- whether it's medical interpreter training online, legal interpreter training or another class entirely- becoming an interpreter involves mastering a variety of different skills. From stress management to getting comfortable speaking in public to enunciating and becoming an expert at simultaneous interpreting, there are a million individual skills that contribute to becoming an expert interpreter. All of our interpreter classes are taught by expert instructors who have designed unique curriculum to give students the best training possible for their new careers. Other online programs only offer their online interpreter training in a self-guided format; which means their students learn all the material from a computer or book without the guidance of an instructor. Their students often come to us after the fact, because their training unfortunately was not sufficient for official state licensure exams. By taking a different approach to online interpreter training classes, we are able to host LIVE webinar style classes that give our students the convenience of remote learning while offering all the benefits of having a seasoned instructor who can provide correction in the moment, and answer questions as they come up organically.  When enrolled in any class, different students struggle with different elements of the curriculum. Some may have a thicker accent and may need more guidance with pronunciation. Others find that learning how to become comfortable with public speaking is far more challenging. In fact, the National Institute of Mental Health reports that an estimated 73% of the population struggles with public speaking anxiety. With an affliction so pervasive, the odds are high that someone considering a career in interpreting also has a fear of public speaking. So what can you do about it?
