| Description: | Our 24-hour online comprehensive training course Attendees are healthcare interpreters, bilinguals, public school family liaisons, public school administrative teams , interpreters who want to interpret in educational settings. This 24-hour program aims to prepare bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters for the context of where they will be interpreting. Bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters will learn and have an understanding on a variety of topics, such as public and private schools, Interdepartmental School District Structures, they'll get an overview of the minimum qualifications to work as a public school interpreter, we'll cover language access laws and how they are related to educational interpreting, we'll discuss parent engagement and its opportunities and how it's connected to the interpreting world in the context of education; we'll dive into the types of meeting assignments and the settings that they could potentially encounter and how to best provide interpreting services; we'll review the different roles of educational interpreters; the codes of Ethics currently followed in the educational settings; I'll introduce techniques and strategies for managing the flow of communication during meetings; we'll review the modes of interpreting in educational settings; additionally, we'll go through what interpreting in education is mostly known for Special Education; its purposes and processes; We'll go over all the common acronyms and the important terminology for interpreting in the educational setting; for context, we'll discuss a list of IEP eligibility requirements and disabilities so that you can get familiar with these terms and process; and last but not least, we will cover professional development and resources for bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters as a trained qualified interpreter working in the educational settings. Throughout this course, you will encounter highlighted terminology that would be important for bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters to remember and get familiar with. We will run through practice activities to help bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters get more familiar with some of the content, and of course, we couldn't offer a robust training program without including module quizzes and a final exam to test your understanding. As you can already see, it takes much more than fluency in two languages to interpret in this setting. The goal of this program is to give bilingual interpreters and educational interpreters a deep dive into what they could expect walking into an interpreting assignment in an educational setting, but also to provide you with the tools they need to perform your role as the Interpreter with confidence, context, and professionalism. |

| Description: | Medical Communication Ambassadors has been training medical interpreters for 20 years, and over the past two years, we have adapted our tried-and-true curriculum for Mandarin/English interpreting. What makes our 80-hour, fully online course unique is its depth and its Chinese language specificity. While most medical interpretation certification courses include 40 hours of language-agnostic (meaning, taught in English) instruction and a few language-specific meetings with a coach, our course spends double the time on instruction and practice in small, intimate classes, all of which is taught bilingually in both English and Mandarin. Our course covers interpretation techniques, areas of medicine like cardiology and psychology, and topics such as intercultural communication and self care, more than preparing students for the national exam. We believe this extensive practice and curriculum is not only essential to the training of competent, confident medical interpreters, it also gives students an edge in seeking employment. Our all-inclusive tuition fee comes with a one-week money-back guarantee. Please visit www.medicalmandarin.com, call (612) 735-6066, or email mca.med.mandarin@gmail.com |

With over a decade of experience as an interpretation agency, training and interacting with interpreters daily, we know what it takes to prepare bilinguals to meet the demands of professional interpreting in the 21st century.
