Medical Interpreter Training Program

The following Registration Policy applies to all candidates:

  • Candidates complete and return the Registration Form together with the required payment to Regional Programs.
  • Upon processing the Registration Form a test date and time will be assigned to the candidate.
  • All candidates registering for the 48-hour Medical Interpreter Certificate course are required to take a Language Skills Evaluation Test. This test is normally conducted via the telephone and takes between 30 minutes but not longer than an hour.  This initial evaluation exam is necessary in order to determine your bilingual fluency levels and knowledge of medical terminology.  Applicants are expected to be fully bilingual to participate in the training course.  Once you register, you will be contacted by an evaluator to schedule a mutually convenient time to conduct the testing.
  • Candidates must be available for the Language Skills Test to be enrolled in to the training program.
  • Candidates must be available for the test session as scheduled
  • Money orders, bank checks, and personal checks are the only acceptable forms of test and training fees.
  • Payment remitted for the wrong amount or returned checks for insufficient funds will be returned with the Registration Form.
  • No rescheduling will be maid if candidates fail to be available for the assigned time slot.
  • Language Skills Test fees are non-refundable.
