MITS Reviews • Medical Interpreting Training School

More Reviews From Our Satisfied Students

"MITS has equipped me with the skills I need to not only prepare myself for medical interpreting, but to also build upon the skills I already had as an interpreter in education. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to become more professional as an interpreter in general, and specifically to anyone who is interested in working as an interpreter in the medical field. I will definitely be using these exercises as a reference going forward!"

"This program is organized, the customer service is excellent and the content of the course is very clear and vast. I love being able to do it at my own pace and evaluate my own assignments. The professor was always available to answer my questions either by email or by phone. He is kind and wants you to succeed."

"This course, is simply superb, it felt as organized and professional as an online college course, and as a young adult who studies online to be able to work full time, I've seen my fair share of lackluster online content. I've already worked as a professional interpreter for 4 years, simply in different fields outside of medicine, and I can say that MITS was able to provide everything I need, in a timely and organized manner, while making me feel prepared for my future works as an interpreter!"

"Going into this course I thought I pretty much knew everything about interpreting, but I quickly found out that I was far from it. This easy-to-follow curriculum taught me so much about the medical field and about the RIGHT, LAWFUL, & PROFESSIONAL way to interpret. It also reminded me that there is always something new to be learned, especially in this field of medical interpreting. I love that it was a self-paced course and taught by someone who definitely sounds like they have the experience and knowledge in this ever-so-awesome and complex world of medical interpreting. A huge PRO about this course is that I get to keep it a whole year! This will allow me to keep studying and going over all the material to better prepare for my NBCMI. I very much enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone coming into the interpreting field as a newbie or even with experience because it is a great refresher plus you can always learn something new!

"Having a Spanish degree and being a nursing student, I was skeptical of how much I would learn with this program. After going through this, I can say that I have learned so much and I will be a better nurse and interpreter because of it. It was definitely worth the price!"

"I found this course to be extremely informative and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it to any interpreter seeking to improve in their profession."

"I would say my experience with MITS was very exceptional. It is a very beneficial program and I really enjoyed the course. All the videos and voice notes are extremely helpful. There were also some giggles which I enjoyed to read when taking this for long hours which was much needed."

"At first I thought this course was too hard to follow, I was wrong. I cut out all distractions put forth the extra effort being honest with myself, I didn't know as much Spanish as I thought. This course is no cake walk. There is a good reason for training to communicate the out come of peoples lives! Taking and passing this course verified how much I want to help people who can't express themselves in English."

"I have taken most of my continuing education courses with MITS and it provides excellent scenarios, we can practice with consecutive, simultaneous interpretations, vocabulary, terminology..... all of it is excellent."

"The content of the medical interpreting course was positively impressive. It's thoroughness in ethics, manners, and medical knowledge is a great motivation to continue learning and acquiring related experience in the chosen field. It has improved my confidence performing as a professional interpreter and it gives credibility in front of other professionals and prestige to the interpreting profession.

"Excellent experience, especially during a pandemic and needing to renew my CCHI certification. Even with over 20 years found the exercises to be a good teaching tool and the do's and don'ts were great reminders of what we as medical interpreters need to know.

"MITS is an excellent program/curriculum that fulfills all of the expectations and requirements to take the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters (NBCMI) and Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters (CCHI). I recommend it to all of my colleagues in the United States Public Health Service 👩🏻‍✈️"

"You have a wide selection of topics, all of them very interesting and useful. Your website is very user friendly. And I find extremely useful the practice of the three modes of interpretation. Excellent price! I am planning on registering for more courses for my continuing education. Thank you!"

"My family member spoke with David over the phone, and the amount of information he gave us and the way he cleared our questions made us very confident. We actually contacted three schools and MITS was the most professional, kind, and clear. Additionally, I really appreciate the way David speaks in the training videos. It helped me to learn proper pronunciations which is absolutely helpful. Thank you."

The National Director of the business I work for gave me the following feedback: "I already thought you were a great interpreter, and that's why I wanted to hire you. But now you've gone up to a whole new level!" The audience even applauded my interpretation on Saturday! It was amazing. All I did was apply the techniques I am learning at MITS. Thank you for a great course and I thought you would like to know how impacting it is, even for a seasoned interpreter.

MITS is a really good way to learn online. It is really convenient and time-saving. The explanations in the course are really clear. The instructor will even encourage me in the recorded course ,telling me that I am not studying alone . I am currently a nurse student and also want to become a part time English- Mandarin medical interpreter, by studying on this website, I did learn a lot of useful skills to get me ready both for my nursing study and my interpreting journey. Of course, medical learning can be frustrating, but MITS makes it easier and more fun. I learned a lot and I am so glad I completed it here."

"I enjoyed the course very much. I challenged myself and learned quite a lot."

"Life changing. mind-blowing. this is what I was looking for to change my work situation and help other people with their language barrier."

"Yo soy esposa de un pastor evangelico, y estamos en un iglesia multicultural. Los aspectos basicos de la interpretacion me han ayudado a mejorar mi interpretacion cuando mi esposo predica."

"Thank you so much David! Your passion and dedication in teaching is a virtue in the interpreting medical field. I started my program in November/20 not knowing much about medical interpreting and 2 months later January/21; I feel comfortable rendering an interpretation and with taking my written exam. This is just the beginning of my interpreting career. I look forward in continuing my education."

"The training that I received with MITS began to show in my work immediately. I didn't know that I was strengthening techniques during the exercises until I started receiving feedback from my clients and providers about how happy they were with my services. I feel much more confident in my work and makes my goal to help people so much more attainable. Thank you MITS."

"The course content was extremely thorough and relevant. I'm a Registered Nurse, and learning the role and legality regarding the role of the interpreter more clearly was helpful. Having an interpreting license myself will improve my patient care exponentially in the primarily Spanish speaking setting that I work in. I was so thankful for the opportunity to study at my own pace with MITS while maintaining my usual work schedule."

"Thank you MITS for this course. It was the nice jump start that I needed to becoming an a Arabic Medical Interpreter and changing career paths! I loved that it was self-paced and I can finish the course while taking care of my family needs. Lots of new medical terminology that I was delighted to learn! Thank you MITS!"

"I had a good feeling about this program and I was right! This was a great experience. I learned so so much! Thank you for making this program. I know is going to help me a lot in the future."

"MITS is a really well-structured course that really helped me fine-tune my bilingual skills to develop into a professional Spanish Interpreter. It strikes a good balance at being attainable but also keeps you on the edge to sharpen your skills. There's a rhyme and reason to its structure and I think it prepares one well for the national certification exams. Thanks for putting this together!"

"I had a great experience learning from the MITS instructor, the tone of his voice was not boring at all, so that really helped me take the course, everything was self-explanatory, I had no need to ever reach out to the instructor. that was just amazing!"

"This Spanish Medical Interpreting course has given me the knowledge and confidence to pursuit a career in the health field, as a bilingual medical interpreter. I will be forever grateful for all the insights and encouragement given to me by the instructor. Thank you so much, "

"My experience with MITS was amazing! I am a Spanish Interpreter, and I really was searching for an online school that would help me brush up on my medical terminology and interpreting skills. Well, MITS really surpassed my expectations. I have learned so much (far and beyond) Thank you so much!!"

"MITS is pretty much well-organized and structured technically as well as in content. The quality of the course is very well-versed that it helps me the most in every step of learning compare to other online healthcare interpreter training programs. Before I purchased this course, I though it was a bit pricey but after exploring the content, learning the course and especially completing the whole 40-hour program with extra bonus contents, it is worth my money. The name of the school "Medical Interpreting Training School" itself is appealing and it looks great for my future career as well. I would like to recommend MITS to anyone who wants to enhance their skills; expand their credentials and learn and practice what truly matters to become a proficient Medical Interpreter."

"I enjoyed taking this course. It was quite challenging, at least more than I was expecting. Yet, I feel that it was all necessary to show what a professional certified interpreter should expect to experience when in the real practice of interpreting. I also liked that this was a course that you could do at your own pace. Likewise, I liked all the materials (glossaries, videos, silly memes) & the practice exercises the course provides, because it helps you grow as an interpreter by analyzing ones own mistakes and reflecting on them."

"The MITS Spanish Interpreting course was the perfect choice for me. I will be obtaining my NBCMI certification in Spanish, so I was looking for a Spanish course that was completely online. I loved that you can take the course at your own pace. It is intense, but I learned so much and all of the material is extremely helpful. David, the professor, is extremely positive and encouraging throughout the duration of the course. I highly recommend this course for those looking for an online course to complete a CMI certification, as well as those looking for a continual education component to their certification, or even those looking for a refresher for information in the medical interpreting field. "

"MITS was a great experience. It allowed me to go at my own pace, which was great for my busy schedule. Each course module was educational and helped me to expand my medical knowledge and vocabulary. It went beyond just medical terms and phrases and helped me to learn the ethics and best practices of medical interpreting. I feel more ready than ever to become a medical interpreter."

"Taking the courses with MITS was such a fun learning experience for me, especially during a pandemic. Learning was made fun and you knew what to expect with every exercise, so prepping and practicing only forces you to be better each time. The instructor is also funny in the recordings that I would catch myself giggling at some points. I am glad I chose this program!"

"I came into MITS 40-hour program with virtually no medical interpreting experience and expected it to be challenging. And it was, however it was also an enjoyable use of my time. Navigating throughout the course was easy and intuitive, its content was extremely comprehensive and well-organized, and the instructor was knowledgeable and encouraging. Overall, I would recommend the program to aspiring interpreters as well as those seeking to broaden their areas of expertise."

"I did the 40 hour training to be able to take the national certification exam. And I feel I am well prepared. It took me a while to get through it all because it is really thorough. Although I do not know about other courses for the medical certification, I have taken courses for the court interpreter exam and this one stands out because there are sample renditions for the materials in the lesson. You also get the scripts, so there are multiple ways of checking how you did. The interface is really friendly. There are a lot of materials. I have not completed the bonus sections, but I am looking forward to this. This was a very enjoyable course because of the contents and because of how it is put together."

"MITS helped me to develop my skills as a medical interpreter. The teaching and practice activities improved my capacity to provide with confidence and accuracy the communication between English and Spanish speakers. This course is well organized, guiding the student through every possible situation and the proper solution for each one."

"I highly recommend this course. I also want to thank Mr. David for extending my time after loosing my sister and my Dad. I also want to thank Patrice Wright for helping me by speaking to David. God Bless all of you."

"I selected MITS program to complete my 40-Hour training because the website was user-friendly, no glitches and because after doing research to compare I found the program was very comprehensive and covered more material. Now that I'm done with my 40-hour training I can say I have no regrets and would recommend it to my colleagues in the future."

"I truly enjoyed my experience with MITS! The modules are very well distributed and the guidelines are easy to follow. The suggested renditions helped tremendously with some phrases and words that I found hard to understand because the different dialect. I would highly recommend MITS to anyone that is looking to pursue a career in Medical interpreting."

"The website is very visually appealing and the course instruction and orientation was succinct and easy to remember. It was not too didactic and overwhelming which is key to the advantage and benefit of this course. Thank you, MITS!"

"After doing a lot of online searching, MITS seemed to fit my needs best. Both in the time allowed to complete the course and financially. It is very thorough and easy to understand. This course gave me more self-confidence in being able to translate in the medical field. You can study at your own pace, and the free resources are great!"

"MITS, Thank you for giving me the opportunity of learning with David and his team this amazing and wonderful course. It will definitely help me with my career as an Spanish/English Medical Interpreter."

"I am very thankful with this whole experience. It really guides you step by step in a really well explained, professional and easy to digest technique. Extremely recommend this program. Not only the course but the support you have from the people behind all this. Now I am a Medical Interpreter !!!!! Thank you MITS ! "

"I was in a pinch, trying to renew in a tight time span and I found one of MITS emails, and it was perfect. Altogether the courses were excellent, fairly priced, easy to follow. Thank you"

"This summer, because of the Corona Virus, I was unable to travel to Spain as I usually do. I wanted to do something productive and something that would help my future. I chose to take the MITS online Medical Interpreter Training Program and it has turned my summer into a joyful learning experience. I took away an understanding of medicine, anatomy, physiology and ethics that has enriched me and made me a more conscientious person! I enjoyed every minute, hour and day I spent on this program and I am so excited to begin my new work as a Medical Interpreter. Thank you so much!!"

"Lamentablemente en mi país no existen compañías que ofrezcan la oportunidad de enriquecer nuestro conocimiento en cuanto a traducción. Así que encontrar esta ayuda de manera remota ha sido la mejor opción para mi. Y me da la oportunidad de crecer y tener la opción de que si algún día me mudo a otro estado tener una certificación acreditada que me abra nuevas oportunidades. No me arrepiento de haber pagado este curso, ha sido una de mis mejores decisiones. Gracias MITS."

"You have to be so careful when looking for quality online courses--it's hard to know what you will get. Well, I'm here to tell you, MITS is the course for you! I went from "wow, I am lacking so much vocabulary, I'll never be able to do this" to confidently interpreting an entire patient appointment in oncology by the end of the course! I have already had my first two volunteer sessions as a medical interpreter, and the clinic director told me both doctors said it was their best experience yet working with an interpreter. Thank you, MITS for the high-quality training that continuously pushed me and encouraged me!"

"Even professional interpreters have something to learn here! I already have an MA in Translation & Interpretation, but I learned so much specific terminology that I had never encountered before. I had a very positive experience working my way through the ten courses and mastering the new content on my journey to becoming a certified medical interpreter."

" As a nurse I thought I should skip medical terminology. But I was wrong, actually it was refreshing to me because a lot of these terminologies I haven't been using them frequently or I actually don't need them all in my daily work. Now I have boosted my knowledge about medical terminology including being able to interpret easily in both languages. Finally, I also learned that this course is not only about medical terminology but it is a career that has ethics and techniques."
