Critical shortage of interpreters offers opportunity
With a county as diverse as Fairfax, there is a critical shortage of qualified interpreters for government, medical, and educational settings. This need provides an exceptional opportunity for bilinguals. 
The Spoken Language Interpreter Certificate Program prepares individuals to become qualified consecutive interpreters. These courses focus on foundations and fundamentals, vocabulary and terminology, and ethics. A practicum is also required.
To help you get the skills and training you need quickly, the program has been shortened into four courses. At the completion of this program you are considered a "qualified interpreter" and are a candidate to obtain certification as an interpreter.
Create a new career and provide a much-needed service.
