PROFESSIONAL INTERPRETER AND SPECIALTY COURses
Our first 40-hour Professional Interpreting Course will be startinG soon: check back or call for dates!
1 World Translation is thrilled to announce we are returning to teaching the most popular, accepted and recognized professional education courses in the USA soon. We plan to start with a Tuesday/Thursday or a Monday/Wednesday evening and a Sraurday afternoon schedule: 10 hours a week. We will leave the Thanksgiving week free, ending the first week of December and allow for a few free days to prepare for the final exam.
We pushed the course start date back so that more people will have the opportunity to take part. We will require payment in full before the course starts. It will be $525 for Bridging the Gap® (BTG). If it is the TCI course: there will be a small extra fee for the books: there are more and they are more expensive. All books are included in these unheard-of low prices. You will soon be able to pay your deposit of $225 online or by contacting us through email accounting@oneworldtranslation.com
Each course has it's unique strengths. 1WT plans to offer short, focused courses in 2025 from it's resources of experienced, and devoted instructors to specifically augment the content weak in each of these courses.
The goal: everyday working excellence! Confidence. Passing a national exam without taking an additional exam prep course. We are expert educators.
*Just because we offer low prices doesn't mean you get a lower quality instructor: quite the opposite. We are in this industry for non-monetary reasons: we are doing the right thing for the right reasons. So: our instructors are top educators, with top credentials and backgrounds.
We are interviewing for The Community Interpreter instructors and Bridging the Gap instructors and will present their curriculum vitae once this is decided. Stay tuned!
"The course was extremely beneficial and productive. The instruction was quite valuable and provided me with a solid foundation in the fundamentals of interpreting. It was a pleasure to learn with Carolina, and I appreciated the opportunity to communicate with my classmates via drills in the class." Sukyung Na- October 2021

“Carolina’s constructive feedback and advice during each lesson helped me understand the subject, and I now feel I have the confidence to work as a professional medical interpreter. I had the pleasure of meeting great people and learned about their experiences during the course. Thank you for answering my questions so quickly, and for making this course so enjoyable.”
Veronica Perez - October 2021
Additional resources & Courses coming in 2025

- The Behavioral Health 28-hr option: offers behavioral health basics-common diagnoses, treatments, guidelines for specific management techniques by the interpreter with interactive exercises. This positions the interpreter to work with all patients. Taught by RN Psychiatric specialist and PhD. Clinical Psychologist FOR AN AFFORDABLE COST.

The Community Interpreter®
The Community Interpreter® (TCI) course addresses working in community settings such as health and human services, schools and an introduction to the legal system.
1WT expects to be offering The Community Interpreter course soon.
We are looking at alternating it with the Bridging the Gap course by looking at student and industry demand/request and pending license approval.
While there are a variety of courses that can be taken: International, Medical and Community based versions, the medical is the most in-demand, while still being able to benefit from this broad-based program.
The courses offer the linguists the basics of the proper techniques to proper interpreting (it's not what you've been doing to help your family and friends). They dig deeper into school and community interpreting. You will present as a true professional in offering your services to schools, and many community-based organizations.
TCI helps students with simultaneous interpreting just as it delves more into the introduction into legal interpreting: which is different than BTG. So, it helps with starting and learning about the skills in simultaneous and legal interpreting. Yet, both of these areas require much more practice and experience. The headquarters of TCI is from the nationally licensed Cross Cultural Communications in Baltimore.
- Course fee: $525. The books are expensive, so may require a slight extra fee, although there are extra books than BTG.
- The comprehensive 40-hour certificate training program, geared for educational, social services or general community interpreting meets the prerequisite for the two national medical interpreting certification courses: NBCMI & CCHI. BTG does also.
- We are happy to bring this course back so we can offer additional education in a different way: a la carte: with add-ons for extra, customized Medical and Pharmacology focus, Behavioral Health, Workers Comp, more in-depth Legal, Translation and Simultaneous skill development as the student requires and desires. It also allows for more flexible scheduling around family, work and other personal needs. 1 World understands your needs all around.
