Professional Interpreting

Professional Interpreting profeSSional interpreter BaSic training Enhance your skills or begin your career as a professional interpreter. The focus of this course is on critical concepts for interpreting in medical, legal and community settings, based on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Equal Footingâ&#x20AC;? Training developed by instructor Saul Arteaga and Southern Wisconsin Interpreting and Translation Services (SWITS). Equal Footing enables interpreters to meet their responsibility of placing Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons on an equal footing with those who understand English. Course participants will be empowered with a guide to professionally approach each communicative event by observing established strategies, protocols and codes of conduct.

Specific topics addressed in this course will include the fundamentals and modes of interpreting and translating, the role of the interpreter and the Codes of Ethics proposed by the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care (NCIHC) and the International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA). Participants will practice and implement interpreting techniques in small groups, listen to and critique recordings of interpreting scripts and record and critique their own renditions.

Students who complete all course requirements will receive a certificate of completion and will be prepared to sit for the IMIA national certification exam for medical interpreters.

*Note: While this course is open to speakers and interpreters in any language, the instructor is bilingual in Spanish and English. Students will be responsible for their own vocabulary development in preparation for any certification exams. The course will be

taught in English and all students must demonstrate English language proficiency. Students will be required to purchase a book on the first day of class at the cost of $45.

Christine Burke of Lake Barrington enrolled in our Defensive Driving Course. While driving less than a week later, she used a lesson from the course to narrowly avoid getting smashed broadside by a car that ran a red light. Burke said that she hesitated at the intersection, recalling a tip she learned in the defensive driving course called “delayed acceleration” waiting two or three seconds before entering an intersection if yours is the first car there. She credits this decision with saving her life.
