What Is Interpreter School With Virtual Classroom Learning?
Interpreter school teaches bilingual adults how to become professional language interpreters. Most of our students choose specialized interpreter training programs like healthcare and medical interpreting or court and legal interpreter training courses. Although many different companies claim to provide a comparable learning experience, most cannot. Because they cannot deliver the quality that we guarantee with each and every one of our courses...
- • Live-streamed online learning: We literally bring the classroom to you, with our face-to-face webinar instruction. Thus allowing students to ask direct questions, their expert instructors, and get personalized feedback in the moment.
- • Practical role-play: Hands-on learning in a remote environment will involve re-enacting real scenarios like school meetings, medical consultations and immigration hearings.
- • Industry specialized coaching: We give you the opportunity to work directly with with native speaking professionals, in order to sharpen terminology, memory skills and note-taking techniques
- • Cultural competence: When you learn with us, you develop professional credibility with ethics trainings along while also taking cultural differences into account with interpreting work.
Our interpreter school online comes with convenient virtual classroom learning
Remote or distance learning: Standard remote or distance learning makes learning more accessible, and generally more affordable because:
- • The model that Coursera uses
- • Convenient, easily accessible and affordable learning
- • The course includes the same standardized material with each time it runs, without changing anything or altering the content
- • Typically involves a lot of pre-uploaded videos and reading material with the same comprehension questions and tests
- • Allows students to go at their own pace
- • Students must teach themselves the subject material
- • Encourages cheating because there is little to no accountability when taking tests or completing assignments
- • High abandonment rates indicate a lack of motivation to see the course through to its successful and natural completion
- • No tangible way to determine if the course is effective at truly teaching the material, because the abandonment rates are so high.
- • May not be enough classroom hours to satisfy requirements for some jobs or interpreter licensing examinations
While there are pros and cons to each approach for online learning, it really is up to learners to choose what is better for themselves and their future. Oftentimes, students come to our online interpreter school after realizing the self-taught courses did not meet expectations or requirements. The saying "you get what you pay for" truly does apply when it comes to online learning.
Our virtual classroom learning approach: Prioritizes learning and comprehension. High-quality online learning is made possible with video-chat technology that:
- • Combines the convenience of remote learning with the effectiveness of traditional classroom experiences
- • Class is conducted through video chat technology
- • Allows for meaningful discussions with peers

- • Real-time learning keeps students engaged in each session and motivated to complete coursework
- • Instructors with professional experience keep students accountable for the quality of their work and motivated to continue improving
- • Students can request additional time if they are struggling to understand subject matter
- • Provides a built-in professional network for language interpreting students to continue keeping up with long after class has ended
