Advanced Oral Practice for Federal Court

In this course, we’ll provide you with carefully crafted training materials to help you refine your interpreting skills. At the same time, you will be given insightful advice from an accomplished interpreter to improve your techniques. This is a non-instructor led course that you can take at your own speed and convenience. 

These original exercises contain many legal terms, court jargon, idioms, and slang that will expand your vocabulary in English and Spanish. You will have the opportunity to improve your listening, short-term memory, and note-taking skills by practicing with multiple challenging segments. Listen to full model renditions for each exercise to adequately assess your performances and identify your strengths and weaknesses. We will cover the following sections:

  • Sight Translation – English into Spanish
  • Sight Translation – Spanish into English
  • Simultaneous Opening Statement
  • Consecutive witness examination
  • Q & A expert witness testimony
  • Final quiz to get a certificate 

* The California Judicial Council encourages interpreters to complete this five-hour course within two weeks. However, you will have access for three months to practice as many times as you want. A one-time free of charge extension is available for interpreters preparing for the Federal Exam.

" I decided to pay for one of the sessions and find out for myself—it was all worth it and I loved it—I plan to take additional courses. The page was very easy to navigate, the course was very informative, keeps us up to date with different scenarios, and makes you practice, which at the same time makes you more confident during interpretations."

"The format of this course was well designed. It requires the practice of specific skills for each activity. Having the skills broken down into one "do" and one "don't" for each practice makes it easier to feel more focused and not overwhelmed. I also liked that the situations for consecutive interpretation exercises are very authentic.

“This course definitely improved my skills and sharpened them as well. Recordings the exercises for each course was really a great experience since I’ve never actually heard myself. It provided great knowledge of where I stood in regard to interpreting and what areas I felt needed improvements.”
