Is Legal Interpreting Training Your Path To A New Career?
Legal interpreting training is so much more than simply translating words from one language to another. If it was, bilingual adults wouldn’t need our trainings at all... Because the simple reality is that you already know 2 languages. In fact, you have probably been speaking those languages for most of your life. That’s why our legal interpreting training class teaches you how to build a new career, on top of the foundation you already have: your language proficiencies.
"What does legal interpreting training teach?"
Legal interpreting training centers around 2 big concepts: accuracy, and understanding the structures of common legal proceedings. Our legal interpreting class teaches complicated legal terminology, and how to use them effectively. Because each class is taught LIVE through video chat technology, students receive a truly interactive online learning experience. For one thing- expert instructors give feedback in the moment, and personalized coaching throughout the entire course.
But more importantly, instructors go above and beyond to deliver a high-quality online learning experience. Where you will see for yourself how a single, misunderstood word can shape the meaning of a statement. Which should really put into perspective just how much responsibility a legal interpreter really has in a legal proceeding. Here’s more of what you will learn:
• Language interpreter terminology for courtrooms
• Courtroom protocol and procedures
• Ethics of legal interpreting
• How to interpret accurately
• Real-world practice
• Different legal interpreting techniques and how to apply them:
° Consecutive legal interpreting techniques: Commonly used in depositions and client meetings, this interpreting style requires translation after each person finishes speaking.
° Simultaneous legal interpreting techniques: Often used during trials, conferences or hearings, this interpreting style requires language translations in real-time as the speaker is talking.
“What’s the difference between a legal interpreter and a court interpreter?"
Our legal interpreter school teaches all of the fundamentals of legal interpreter training mentioned above. Generally, legal interpreters work in a variety of settings from law offices, immigration cases and depositions. A courtroom language interpreter on the other hand, is often licensed after meeting specific testing and educational standards set by each state. Whichever direction you want to take your new career, you will have to begin by starting in a legal interpreting training course like ours.
“Why is yours the best legal interpreting training course?"
