MONOLINGUAL TRANSLATION IN SPANISH PROFESSIONAL
Some of these exams require previous professional experience as a translator/interpreter or an educational certificate such as the ones available at UCSD Diego Division of Extended Studies in order to qualify to take the exam.
There is currently no national form of certification required for translators and interpreters in the United States, however there are a variety of exams that you can take to demonstrate your proficiency to your employer or that are required for specific jobs.
Industry certifications are usually earned by passing an exam through the state or federal courts or through professional organizations. This is different from a professional certification.
Students who complete the UCSD Diego Division of Extended Studies Translation and Interpretation certificate earn an educational certificate.

This includes: Introduction to Court Interpretation and Legal Interpretation in Criminal Proceedings.

The synchronous meetings are held on Saturday mornings, Pacific Time. These classes are typically completed mid-way through the program (usually 3-4 quarters into the program). Students need a webcam and headset with mic along with fast internet. The three required interpretation courses (Consecutive Interpretation, Simultaneous Interpretation, Sight Translation) require much more visual and audio interaction between the instructor and students and therefore require some synchronous web meetings and video/audio homework. All assignments, discussion posts, and tests can be completed online and submitted through Canvas, our online learning platform.įor the online translation courses you are not required to login to Canvas at a specific time but homework is due each week by a specified deadline (ie the class is asynchronous but not self-paced due to weekly deadlines).
