Our offerings begin with the Introduction to Court Interpreting (Spanish/English) but will soon include seminars for intermediate and advanced court interpreters as well as interpreters working in other settings and in other languages.

It is very important that students register for the course appropriate for their skill level. Experienced interpreters will not be allowed to attend the introductory course, but should wait for the intermediate and advanced courses to be offered. Similarly, those without interpreting experience will not be allowed to register for the intermediate and advanced courses unless recommended by SLS faculty.
