Lesson 2 – Credentials and Certification

You must first complete Lesson 1 – Introduction before viewing this Lesson

The main goal of this 40-hour training program is to help the attendee develop his/her skills and competency to take the certification exam for becoming a ‘certified’ medical interpreter.  The course material is more than enough to help the student attain this objective, but also to achieve the necessary level of knowledge to effectively perform the duties of a medical interpreter in the real world.

This program is based on a series of online lectures that can be taken at one’s own pace. At the end of every lecture there is a quiz that will test your knowledge and understanding of the material reviewed. Passing the quiz will allow you to take the following segment. The quizzes are not hard and can be re-set and re-taken as many times as desired. Each lecture, or lesson, has material that you will need to download to review and study.

The total time you will be investing in each lesson (including the lecture, quiz and reviewing the downloads) is approximately 2 hours.

The course is based on an educational platform where the student has constant access to the teacher via messaging. The student is never alone.

Upon completion of this program you will receive a ‘Certificate of Completion’ that you can use to comply with the 40-hour pre-requisite for national certification with CCHI.

The cost of the course is $150. To obtain this low price you must first be a member and maintain membership in good standing in the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Florida (ATIF).
