Do you
want to get certified? Does the thought of taking a certification test give you
nightmares? Do you have fears about the unknown regarding certification
evaluations? Did you take a certification test but not pass? Are you already
certified but want to attain a higher level? Is your job at risk because of
your struggle to pass a certification test? Do you have testing anxiety? If
you said “yes” to any of these questions, this event is for YOU!
EDUCATIONAL INTERPRETERS ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO REGISTER FOR ALL SESSIONS.
These workshops will be
intensive, thought-provoking, and skill-enhancing. The complicated language of
certifications will be broken down for all to understand. Hands-on activities
will allow participants to actually practice the various skill sets required of
them for certification. Appropriate for interpreters who are seeking
certification, certified interpreters wanting to attain a higher level,
interpreting and ASL Students who want to learn about certification. Certified
interpreters can earn CEUs.
Participants will create an action plan that leads them toward their goal of
becoming certified or attaining a higher level of certification.
The Certification Series
Seminar is designed for both pre-certified interpreters (including students) who
would like to become certified, and certified interpreters who would like attain
a higher level. Pre-certified interpreters and students will gain an in-depth
understanding of various certification evaluations and will develop a plan to
pass them. Certified interpreters will be exposed to techniques and strategies
that will help them in their goal of attaining a higher level of certification.
Although you may choose to
come to a specific session related to one certification, it is HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED that you come to the entire event. By understanding the
requirements of more than one certification, you will better understand the
skills you need to be an effective, qualified interpreter. Having an
in-depth knowledge of several different certification evaluations will help you
pass the one (or more) you really want or need.
