"Good morning MITS, I hope this note finds you all well. I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for your course, which helped tremendously in preparing me to take my CCHI exams. Thanks to your excellent program I am now certified as a Healthcare Interpreter as of this June 2022! I'm so excited about what my new career as a medical interpreter will look like. Thanks for everything and keep up the good work!"

"The MITS course for Spanish interpreters is an incredibly well-thought-out and practical guide for study. Without it, it would've been next to impossible to compile so much useful information and so many realistic and challenging practice activities. I would highly recommend this training program to anyone looking to start in the medical interpreting profession."

"I was very impressed by the medical 3D animation videos and the vast amount of knowledge and vocabulary I was able to extract from them. The glossaries are an essential tool to have and learn. I was also impressed by the authenticity of the regional accents of the LEP characters in the audio. The exercises are challenging at a level where I felt very confident about taking the written and oral tests. I am very happy I chose MITS as my training school!"

"The courses I took at MITS were key for me to pass the CCHI certification exam on my first try. I felt well prepared because of the professionally made courses, excellent vocabulary, real-life cases, and great quizzes. It feels great to be a CHI™ Certified Healthcare Interpreter!"

"I came into the MITS program with no previous medical interpreting experience and found it challenging, but incredibly helpful. I felt very well prepared for the national certifying exams, and, more importantly, to be a good interpreter!"

"This is a rigorous program with excellent training material. I am so pumped about being able to go out in the field confident that I received excellent training and that I am now a Certified Healthcare interpreter! Thank you MITS!"

"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."

"I thought MITS would fit well into my busy schedule, so I decided to take a friend's recommendation. I learned a lot and got to know more about the Code of Ethics for a medical interpreter. I’d say that taking MITS classes was super beneficial. They helped me to pass the CCHI written and oral exams for Mandarin."

"Even though I teach Spanish, right from the first course, I knew I was going to learn TONS, and I was not disappointed! The courses are well-designed with great examples and practice. Now here I am a CMI-Spanish after having passed the exams the first time through. I can definitively say I would not have passed without the MITS Spanish-specific courses. Well worth the investment!"

"I’m an immigrant from South America and worked for over 20 years as a nanny. But today I’m delighted to let you know that I became a CMI (Certified Medical Interpreter)! I passed the exams, and I owe that to MITS. I decided to invest $640 in my personal and academic growth, and that’s the best thing I could’ve done"

"I took an online course with a different organization as well, and I didn't learn nearly as much as I did from MITS. MITS is very thorough in their delivery of the information. They stand out in how they provide important terms to know, explanation of techniques, and that they teach sight translation as well."

"I had done my research about what programs to take and chose MITS because it was offered at the University of Texas, and I believed it would be a well-developed program—I was not disappointed. It was very engaging throughout. Great program and definitely recommend it to anyone!

"I chose MITS because, unlike other courses, I could have online access to all material 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This aspect allowed to me to learn at my own pace, whether sitting in front of my computer or during breaks at work. Navigating throughout the course was easy and seamless, both on a tabletop computer as well as my iPhone. This proved to be an excellent, helpful and enjoyable use of my time. I'm glad I chose MITS!"

"Thanks to the training at MITS I obtained my national certification from the National Board for Certified Medical Interpreters (NBCMI) last week on 8/10/21. I first stumbled upon MITS during my search for a reputable medical interpreting institution. I had limited experience with interpreting in the legal field but had next to zero knowledge of the medical field and its terminology. The course is structured in such a way that you feel as if Mr. McCoy-Galicia was there in person to guide you. Thank you MITS!

"The Fundamental 40-hour program that I took at MITS was amazing. During this course, I was challenged in every lesson, but the way this program had been structured gave me the chance to perform as a professional in the role of Medical Interpreter. Thank you to all the professional interpreters who had worked so hard to build this program to make my experience a pleasant one."

"I had never taken any online courses, but this experience was very satisfactory, and I learned a lot, as I am not very computer savvy. Every step was very simple to follow, and I was able to go through with all my courses to renew my certification at ease. It was very convenient, especially on this time of COVID-19. Thank you MITS."

"MITS was the most affordable and convenient course I could find. The course is full of helpful materials that allow you to learn new vocabulary, different colloquialisms and slang terms from other countries/cultures, practice translating from English to Spanish. You will get out what you put in."

"The course was very clear and well organized, I enjoyed that I was able to advance at my own pace. My favorite part was the practice exercises where I could see my progress."

“The experience at MITS was extremely pleasant and I think all aspiring medical interpreters should take this course. It was the best $640 I ever invested. The knowledge I obtained will still be useful even after I finished the course. The additional resources were especially helpful and I will continue to use them as a tool for further development.”

"MITS course has really been helpful to me in my journey as a medical interpreter, especially all the new vocabulary I learned. The lectures are very educative, clear, and easy to understand."

"I really enjoyed the "giggle" section. It helps certain ideas stick. It helps me recall certain things that I otherwise wouldn't be able to. I made a choice blindly and took a risk. The payoff has been superb. I've already recommended MITS to two of my friends.”

"I compared many online courses before purchasing this course. I chose MITS because it gives you an overview of what you're about to learn. Other courses are not very transparent in this aspect. Completing the 40-hour NLS course has helped me understand a lot about human anatomy."

"As a Latin American physician, I really enjoyed MITS training program! I learned many new concepts about interpretation and gained skills in three interpreting modes. I think it was a good investment that will bring me many rewards in my future as a professional medical interpreter. The instructor was very nice, kind, and inspiring; I would’ve liked to meet him in person. Thank you!"

"The MITS 40-hour course for Spanish interpreters was exactly what I needed. It was engaging, extremely well-organized, and chock full of content. The lessons were definitely challenging, but the instructor sprinkled in plenty of encouragement and helpful tips along the way. I feel very well-prepared to take the national exam."

"I was impressed by the number of excellent testimonials people gave about this course, and they were not wrong! I had experience in interpreting before, but never in the medical field. It seemed like a huge challenge for me, but MITS made all the process of learning very enjoyable. I wanna thank the MITS team for offering such a great course and share their knowledge with efficiency and dynamism. I wish it could last longer :)"

“I’m an Arabic interpreter. I took the Non-Language-Specific Fundamental Training at MITS in 2015. I was a little nervous before buying the complete 40-hr course because I didn’t know what to expect. But right after I started, I realized that I had made the perfect choice. I learned a lot in every chapter; I loved how challenging the exercises could get. I improved so much and in so many areas, both in Arabic and English. I had an amazing experience and I think you will too!”

"For any interpreter looking to acquire further credentials and establish themselves as a professional within their field, one need look no further than MITS. Provided that you are able to put your pride aside, and become a true student, you will find yourself increasing your vocabulary exponentially, enhancing your comfort level with sight translation, and ultimately ensuring your confidence and success in the field of medical interpreting."

"The whole course was great. Learning from a certified and well-informed instructor was worthy. I was able to have a view from an interpreter’s perspective and practice in a very well-put-together program designed to make you become a professional interpreter. I chose MITS based on a recommendation from a certified interpreter, and because I was able to complete this course on my own time and I learned so much in the process."

“I took an interpreter course with another company because it was cheaper and they promised a lot. Unfortunately, I made a big mistake. After completing that program I felt unprepared and dissatisfied with the poor quality and customer service. It was a waste of my time and money. So, I decided to call MITS and spoke with David, he was very helpful and pointed me in the right direction. I purchased a few classes from the basic program, and boy what a difference! I wish I’d taken my 40 hours of training at MITS instead, it was worth the extra dollars!”

"I really liked the videos. They were very helpful and illustrative as well as the case scenarios and situations presented. Also, the exercises to practice sight translation and simultaneous interpretation are challenging but good. I chose MITS to study for my certification as a Spanish interpreter because it was online so I could do it at my own pace in my own space. I was very pleased with the well-organized lessons and the clear instructions given throughout the course. I highly recommend it!"

"MITS is my window into the world of medical interpreting. I sincerely hope that my journey from here on out is a productive and well-prepared one as a result of the teachings covered here. Another thing to note, is that throughout the whole lengthy process of getting through this course, the instruction received through it made it feel like any questions or concerns I had could be addressed and they would be answered fairly quickly, and for it, I'm extremely thankful"

“I’m at the beginning of my interpreting career, and MITS opened my eyes to the various types of interpreting along with the importance of accurate interpreting and everything that entails. I found the information of the do’s and don’ts along with their explanations especially helpful.”

"I had a great time taking this course. I learnt a lot on many topics, some new and some I was very familiar with and still got new useful information. The variety of excellent exercises was very engaging and helpful. A very well-structured course. Thanks MITS!"

“This 40-hour course was worth every penny! A few years ago, I took a similar medical interpreter training course but MITS’s course is hands down much better and more educational. I will recommend this course to anyone thinking of going into the medical interpreting field.”

“The course is not only convenient and user-friendly, but also enlightening, and, dare I say it, fun. I took and easily passed the CCHI certification exam, and I credit MITS for that. If you are hoping to become a specialized medical interpreter or renew your credentials, look no further.”

“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.”

"After reading great reviews about MITS, I decided to take the non-language specific 40-hour program. It was best decision I could’ve made— I absolutely loved it. Great way to improve your medical vocabulary and gain confidence."

“Having grown up in Puerto Rico in an English-speaking family, as well as being married to a Honduran and speaking Spanish on a daily basis, I felt pretty confident about my ability to translate. However, I knew that my knowledge and understanding of medical terminology, especially in Spanish, was a little lacking. Boy was I in for a shock! I quickly discovered how little I really knew about the medical field. MITS has helped me to improve greatly, not only with medical terms, but in actual interpreting, and I now feel confident in my ability to translate medical terms. In addition, I've picked up along the way several idioms and colloquialisms in Spanish that I previously wasn't familiar with. I believe that MITS has more than prepared me to be a professional medical interpreter!”

"This course was way better than I anticipated. I realize I only had a poor idea of the role of an interpreter and thought that being bilingual was enough. This course helped me understand not only the role but also the ethics and code of conduct of the profession and to hone my language skills. The bonus classes are a wonderful tool to keep practicing these skills. This course is really complete and the fact that I could do it at my own pace is priceless. David was not only a great instructor but also a great motivational speaker! Thank you!"

"I chose this program because it was utilized by the Medical Interpreting Program at the University of Texas in Austin. I had a pretty good experience with MITS, the instructor spoke very well, and he made it a lot more interesting especially when we were covering topics that were not as "interesting." I was able to open my eyes to the fact that although I thought I was experienced in interpreting after having to do it for my family, I still have a lot of stuff to improve on. I am thankful that the site was easy to navigate, and that I never had to deal with any technical difficulties."

“MITS taught me skills specific to the practice and showed me methods to improve and apply them to real-life situations. The most cost-effective and efficient course!

"MITS provides a comprehensive review of many different scenarios you may encounter in the medical field. They also provide the necessary vocabulary and tips to help become a successful interpreter."

"This was my first online interpreting program. It was simple to follow and the fact that I have access to it for a whole year is fantastic. The price is well worth it!"

"I enjoyed this MITS course very much. The information was clear and precise, the interpreter that recorded the whole class had great diction, was very easy to understand in both English and Spanish. I found the videos to be extremely helpful and with great graphics and quality. I'm definitely going back to review them because I enjoyed watching them. Overall I'm very satisfied with this course and with the opportunity to go back and review everything I did. Thank you for putting this course together."

“I want to give five stars to my experience with MITS. I was thinking that because I am good at speaking two languages, English and Spanish (I am from Galicia, Spain), I didn’t need this course. But, I was completely wrong! I really learn a lot with this course, and it’s helping me a lot with my job; I’m going to continue to practice for the whole year. Being very honest, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be a good Interpreter! Thank you so much MITS!”

"This course has been an excellent resource to use in a relaxed and competent manner. The lessons are well structured and they covered a wide range of medical, ethical and legal topics in order to prepare me for the written examination. In addition, the quizzes, sight translation practice, the simultaneous and consecutive interpreting practices were extremely helpful and prepared me for the oral portion of the examination. Overall, I believe this course has fully covered all the bases and has given me the confidence and knowledge I need to obtain my certification."

"I’m very grateful for the Written Exam Prep bonus course! It definitely helped me to pass the Core exam with CCHI. Thank you very much!"

“I really enjoyed working at my own pace and feeling very challenged. I love the feeling of being over-prepared and having the opportunity to constantly strengthen my skills, even after I have finished the course.”

"Talking to David over the phone was very encouraging. The recordings were awesome and very helpful. I also loved the fact that I worked at my leisure."

"I absolutely loved taking this class. It not only gave me great tips on how to become a better interpreter, but it also exposed me to a variety of terms and phrases that I was unaware of and that I do not use on a regular basis. I would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in improving their interpreting skills. It takes time and effort, but it is definitely worth it in the end."

“I honestly got a lot of benefit from this program. It was well organized, sequential, and fruitful. The methods used in the course were perfect, which enable me to learn a lot of general information other than interpretation, like culture, ethics, healthcare system, and health insurance. I got all these things in a short period of time and with enjoyment. It was wonderful, especially during these hard days of the Covid-19 pandemic"

"After taking MITS course, I was able to acquire knowledge on medical interpretations, ethnic behaviors, medical terms, along with disclosures about the science of our bodies. Not only was I given information on how to take on an interpreting job, but I was also able to learn about surgical procedures, the different types of doctors, and how to work with medical professionals. I will definitely recommend this course to others simply because it shares and provides so much more than just medical interpretation."

“MITS is not just incredible preparation for medical interpreters – it is more encompassing than what is advertised. They really care for their students’ success! MITS is like a course in Spanish medical terminology, linguistics, medicine, and proper etiquette all rolled into one! Classes never got boring because there was something that would spark curiosity in each lesson. I highly recommend this program to everyone. Very well organized and interesting!”

"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. These exercises have made me realize that learning colloquial expression of the target language is as important as learning the medical vocabulary."

"The Spanish interpreter course at MITS is a true test of self-discipline and desire to learn. If you're dedicated to truly learning the keys to becoming a great interpreter, then this course is right for you. This course allowed me to further expand my previous knowledge having gained a bachelors in Spanish. I wanted to challenge myself, enrich my Spanish vocabulary and gain overall a better understanding for interpreting."

"I am a novice Arabic and Armenian on-site and OP Medical Interpreter. This course with MITS has been extremely helpful in gaining a professional approach and wide confidence in Medical interpreting. The program is designed in such a perfect way that with the completion of each lesson I was noticing improvement in my knowledge, and understanding in every aspect related to the field as well as great progress in my vocabulary and interpreting skills which helped me gain success in my work, motivating me to apply for the certification process with confidence."

"I've been called on many times to translate in different situations and have always felt that because I was fluent in Spanish it should be something I could do competently. After taking the course, I am so much more aware of the complexity of providing an accurate translation. I’m so glad I took this course! I learned so much and feel I can now enter an interpreting assignment with confidence. This course has been an eye-opener and I am so grateful to have found this opportunity. I hope anyone doing medical interpretations realize how important it is to take this course."

“An amazing experience where everything is done in a professional yet friendly manner. I appreciate the tone and voice of the main speaker, is was always attractive to listen to, never boring. I also loved the videos: they give you a good understanding for someone like me not in the medical careers. At the same time, they allow you to relax for a moment when you are doing the different exercises. The web interface is easy to navigate and everything is very well organized and set up in a didactic way. David answered every question I had immediately, even during the weekends. Overall, an outstanding course! Highly appreciated as a teacher myself.”

"There was so much vocab to learn and so many medical concepts to become familiar with, that I recommend taking your time. This is coming from someone with only a certain amount of previous medical knowledge. The good news is that with lots of studying in the program, it made me so fascinated with studying medical treatments to enhance my knowledge of how things work instead of just memorizing a list of terms. Knowing the terms in Spanish is important but understanding their implications and what they mean have cemented my desire to pursue a career in healthcare."

“I strongly believe that I wouldn’t have succeeded in passing the National Board exams the first time without this course. I had only been interpreting for a few months prior to taking this course, and upon completion of the 40 hours of training, I felt very confident and well-equipped. I am very happy to end up with wonderful information and resources that will continue to help me strengthen my skills. I decided to take MITS course because it’s a school recognized by the IMIA and CCHI and because David was very patient and helpful; he really took his time to answer all my questions when I called.”

“The Fundamental 40-hour (Spanish) course provided by MITS is the perfect option for interpreters who are limited by time and need an efficient, on-demand solution. Each class was designed thoughtfully to provide the best learning experience. The lessons seemed to build on the knowledge learnt in previous classes helping me retain the information as a whole, instead of forcing me to memorize random words and facts. I highly recommend this course to anyone trying to satisfy the 40-hour requirement by the certification agencies, as well as those trying to advance their knowledge in the medical interpreting field.”

"MITS was great to be able to work courses in my own time, particularly as I have a busy schedule. Although some sections were a little repetitive, the actual examples and small videos in both languages were extremely helpful. Additionally, I could skip throughout different sections so that if I grew tired of one subject, I could always come back to it later."

“This course was incredibly helpful and set the professional standards every interpreter should aspire towards. As a new Interpreter, I feel as though my confidence is now at a level where I can approach the test with high hopes of passing and become a huge help to the medical community and its patients. I also look forward to going back and reviewing this course frequently as to strengthen the skills I learned this past month and continue to be a better professional.”

“I’m a new interpreter and even though many of the exercises were way above my level, I still got a lot out of the course. I’ve enrolled in other online interpreting classes and this was the best one! The staff was encouraging and responsive too. I highly recommend the 40-hour program for beginner and experienced interpreters!”

"I am well pleased and proud that I chose MITS to expand my expertise as a Medical Interpreter. The presentation of the course program was scientific, brilliant, and convenient. Instructions were made simple, clear and very considerate to the user. Navigation of the website is easy and user-friendly. Last but not least is the instructor behind this great training program, David. Thank you for making my training not only educational but a recreational one. I had fun listening and a good time learning from you. You and MITS will always get my thumbs UP!"

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.

“Yes! I passed the written and oral exams to become a Certified Medical Interpreter, CMI, by the National Board (NBCMI). I couldn’t have done it without MITS’s professional and invaluable help. When I had some navigation questions, David contacted me right away; he was very nice and courteous. Self-paced study at my own convenience and home made it possible for me to contemplate studying for this test. It was also much more affordable than in-person classes. I do recommend this course to my colleagues. Thank you MITS!”

MITS has been my saving grace on all my Medical appointments. I am respected among my colleagues and I am viewed at work as a strong, professional interpreter. When my colleagues ask me, after seeing me study in hospital sometimes, where I study at, I always say MITS. I am very proud of my achievements and professional growth as an interpreter. I am no longer insecure, and I walk to my appointments with confidence and leave with satisfaction about being able to be a helpful bridge of communication between a patient and a doctor, and many times even with the front desk. Thank you so much MITS, you have truly made a positive impact on my professional career, Thank you!"

“MITS is an excellent 40 hour preparation course for the Medical Interpreting Exam. The material provided is top notch. I stumbled upon this course looking for a review for the Written Exam, having already taken another 40 hour course. I purchased the MITS exam review and soon realized the previous course did not prepare me for the in-depth ethics situations, or English medical vocabulary I needed to know. Glad to say I passed the written exam, and was so impressed, I purchased the 40 hour class before taking the oral exam.”

“This was my first time taking classes online so I was a little nervous! But after understanding the instructions and the intuitive navigation, it was not hard at all. I was always given immediate help and support when I needed it. So far I’ve take over 20 hours of continuing education at MITS because these classes help me improve my interpreting skills, vocabulary, listening skills and a lot more. I recommend my colleagues to be prepared because these classes are challenging! I’m looking forward to completing all my CEUs at MITS as they release more classes.”

"I took the 40-hour course at MITS because it was recommended by CHIA as a certified preparation course for the exam, and it was also recommended by my fellow alums at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. MITS courses are detailed, well-structured, comprehensive, and very instructive. The training materials give students great insights into real-life scenarios/content that they will be working in the medical interpreting field. And I can't say enough about their stellar customer service that really works with working professions to complete the course amidst a busy work schedule and help them launch a new career path in their professional life."

“MITS is an excellent option for the working population who needs something flexible and comprehensive. From glossaries to actual forms that you may come across as a medical interpreter, this course is complete and will fill in the gaps that you may have. Thanks MITS for offering this platform, I have already recommended this program to several friends of mine”

"My experience at MITS was great, but I am still studying and reviewing. I have still a lot of work to do. The simultaneous interpretations drove me crazy! I know I am new to this profession and hope that practice will help a lot. I like so much that I can keep practicing at my own pace as long as I want. Being able to go to practice at any time is also a great advantage oft his course. The videos and the vocabulary glossaries were excellent, specially having also the pronunciation in both languages, Overall, I'm very satisfied with the course. Very complete and covers everything you need to know to be Certified"

“I really enjoyed learning medical terminology and vocabulary from MITS, this is a very professional course; I loved all the informative videos.”

“Thank you very much, MITS, for your assistance during the time I was taking the Psychiatry and Endocrinology course. I really enjoyed participating and I do feel like I am taking away something useful out of them. I am looking forward to taking the rest of the courses in the future.”

“I’d like to share with all my colleagues that I love the classes I’m taking at MITS! They are fun and presented in a very easy to follow format. MITS has also provided me with great customer service and support! I’m very satisfied.”

“I took a similar course at another interpreter school and didn’t learn nearly as much as I learned with MITS course. The lessons are structured well which makes it easier to review and study. The instructor has a great demeanor, and explains the lessons very well. The instructions are easy to follow and the lesson plans are structured very well, I will continue to study and review the courses, and I feel confident that I will pass the certification exam. Thank you very much! Please keep up the good work.”

"I searched for online courses and was the one that convinced me the most. Especially when I can work at my own pace. It gave me the opportunity to learn at my own pace right from home. I really enjoyed this course and would definitely recommend it."

"I’m an older lady who loves learning and enriching my languages and culture. I found that this 40-hour course has greatly helped me improve many aspects of my interpreting skills and cultural competency in such little time. The exercises were exciting and challenging. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I have no doubt that I invested my time and money in something that has helped me gain more knowledge and confidence. This is a remarkable course, don’t miss it!”

"MITS was the best choice I have made since I was looking for improvement and advancement in my job field. I am happy with my choice of MITS and would strongly recommend it to others looking to learn a lot and apply their knowledge in their job field. Huge Thank you to all staff of MITS"

"I’m already a Certified Healthcare Interpreter, CHI™, but I decided to enroll in the 40-hour program thinking that I was just going to review what I already knew. To my surprise, this course was full of new information, medical terms, and plenty of idioms that are super useful in my work at the hospital. I also got to take a second look at the Interpreter's Code of Ethics and Conduct, which is so important in our job. I totally loved this course!"

“I truly recommend MITS 40 hours interpreter training to anyone trying to achieve either more experience or for interpreters looking into achieving certification. The materials are presented in an easy to understand and easy to follow way. The best thing about it is that it can be completed at your own pace. That’s perfect for those of us with a busy schedule. I’m very thankful MITS online interpreter training is available for all of us wanting to better ourselves professionally.”

"I enjoyed this course. It was challenging, and I learned a lot in the medical specialty modules. The opportunity to practice sight, simultaneous and consecutive interpretation was invaluable. I also enjoyed learning not just medical terminology but idiomatic expressions I was previously unfamiliar with."

“Thank you so much for making it possible to complete this training on line. As a single mother of two young children I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the flexibility of completing this training on my own time. Thank you SO MUCH!"

"I would like to let you know that I have successfully passed the CoreCCHI Examination. I am really grateful to David for the wonderful training course that helped me advance my knowledge and become certified. I really enjoyed it beyond belief and look forward to continuing my education with MITS some time soon."

“MITS provided me with a qualitative course that allowed me to work at my own pace and as my busy life and work schedule would allow. The courses are rigorous and challenging but MITS provides the learner with helpful instruction and the resources needed for success.”

Such amazing journey! It was a really fun and exciting program. I learned so much from each one of the modules and all the videos were so informative. Thank you Mr. Galicia for sharing your acknowledge and your clear explanations."

“Studying online offered me tremendous flexibility, but this doesn't mean I learned less than at on-site training. On the contrary, MITS course provided me with enough study materials and links. Throughout the course, I gained more knowledge about the healthcare industry and the level of professionalism needed to be an interpreter. I truly recommend this program.”

“At first, the thought of taking an online course scared me. However, all the courses at MITS were excellent. I enjoyed being able to work at my own pace, especially with being a full-time college student and an employee. I found very exciting how I was able to transfer some of the knowledge from my medical terminology classes in college to this course program!”

"The interface of the website is quite appealing. It has a better design than other online course websites, and it worked correctly on all the devices I personally tried. The bonus courses to prepare for the exam were an important characteristic that I took into consideration while choosing a program. I enjoyed the course a lot; lots of useful information. I would recommend to anyone looking to get certified!"

"I was excited to take the NLS training course because it was not geared to any specific language, but for all language interpreters, including ASL Interpreters. I have worked as a staff interpreter for 14 years and this is a great opportunity to further my career working in a healthcare facility. My understanding of each subject has improved 10-fold. Thank you, MITS!"

"Studying to prepare for work as a medical interpreter with MITS has been fantastic! The course is flexible, easy to follow and very informative. The practice exercises are challenging and fun. Thank you MITS for a "top of the line" course!"

"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!"

"I recently graduated from CSULB with a major BA of Arts in Spanish, and I was not completely satisfied with my achievement like there was something missing. My diploma needed a little bit of spice to it, so when I found out that getting certified to be a medical interpreter was an option, I couldn’t let the opportunity pass. Quickly, I enrolled in MITS, and so far, it feels like it’s on my top list of professional endeavors that I have committed to. Nonetheless, after reaching the goal of 40 hours through the program, there’s still that drive to keep on bettering myself in this field, and I can proudly say that is thanks to the program at MITS."

"I love learning, and it was a pleasure to take the MITS course. The way the program is designed really helped me to improve my skills and made me aware of my mistakes and my weaknesses and how to work on them. Also, the process to introduce you into every aspect of interpreting like speed, vocabulary, and intonation - basically, the do’s and don’ts, was excellent. It really helped me to polish my skills as an interpreter, and it helped me with my self-confidence."

"This 40-hour course was recommended by my peers as being very thorough and challenging. The videos were very educational, and the explanations were clear. The fact that I was able to create personal summaries and vocabulary sheets will be a good resource to review the course later. MITS is a very detailed and challenging program that will expand your knowledge and sharpen your interpreting skills!"

“I think the information I have learned through taking this class has been invaluable. There is a such a vast amount of information to be retained in the medical field. But I feel as though these classes spend an adequate amount of time to teach several medical fields individually. Along with have helpful simultaneous, consecutive, and sight translation exercises to practice and learn effectively."

"I’m going to medical school and wanted to gain some experience and certification before starting. I chose MITS as a reference from a friend, and it’s a great way for someone to learn medical jargon and interpreting skills. It also properly trains students to become interpreters, such as ethics and codes of conduct. Everything is incredibly organized and easy to navigate."

“This course was an eye-opening experience and it definitely provided me great trainings for my future profession. MITS has provided me a great training with this online course and I highly recommend it. I have learned a lot and felt more confident in both the board exam and future healthcare interpreting career.”

“When I purchased the training, I didn’t expect to have such a wonderful learning experience. I learned new vocabulary and alternative ways of interpreting sentences that mean exactly the same in Spanish. MITS course was affordable compared to other overpriced courses all over the web. I found myself taking the training in the middle of the day, morning time, and late at night - I loved it 🙂 Thumbs up for David!”

“As a full-time mom of two munchkins under 5, I must admit that this course was everything but a piece of cake. However, it turned out to be a truly invaluable experience for me. The structured design and constructive input throughout each lesson encouraged me to conduct constant research, which made me realize what my strengths and weaknesses were, and it's helped me regain my confidence. All in all, I found the course both challenging and rewarding and I am glad to have chosen MITS.”

"My time taking this course taught me so much! I was able to take my time, go at my own pace, and complete the exercises with great ways to self-evaluate. I even was able to learn more about medicine along the way! All the materials are well-thought out and clear. I also appreciated the additional information on ethical guidelines and national standards of practice.”

"It was a pleasant experience to have taken this program. MITS courses are very well explained and easy to understand. The information that they provide is very useful and the material that is covered is very well organized and easy to navigate. I would recommend this course to anyone that is looking to get certified or to renew your certification. Thank you"

"I am so happy I chose MITS as my school of interpretation. What a great program! The instructor is thorough in his teaching & explanations. I am amazed at how much I was able to learn in just 40 hours. The website is professional, organized, and very easy to navigate. I highly recommend this interpreters course!"

Let us help you achieve your goals too.

"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!"

"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!"

"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.

"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."

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!"

"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!"
