Is Language Interpreter Training Enough For Healthcare Jobs?

 

Language interpreter training is a necessary first step for bilingual adults to make a career change. Regardless if you are working as a healthcare professional, or in entry-level medical administration - you can create a meaningful career as a medical interpreter. Especially because you have already done the hard part... you can speak 2 languages fluently! Which is why many adults have wonder: "how important is language interpreter training, anyways?" And "why take this course if I won't get a language interpreter license at the end?"

 

"Why take this language interpreter course if there's no license at the end of it?"

1. We train, they license

A medical interpreter license can only be issued by state-certified licensing boards. We are not one, nor have we ever been able to issue a license. In order to receive one, you must pass your licensing examination. And to register for that licensing examination, you must have proof that you received at least 40 hours of formal classroom instruction. Because no one can register for the medical interpreter licensing exam without any classroom instruction. Why is that? Because being bilingual is not enough to become a medical interpreter. Official interpreter training a non-negotiable, pre-requisite step that cannot be skipped.

 

2. Our training is unmatched
