Community Spanish interpreter certificate available | Eastern North Carolina Now

News Release:

    The Community Spanish Facilitator curriculum prepares individuals to work as entry-level professionals in basic Spanish communication skills who will provide communication access in interview and interaction settings. In addition, this curriculum provides educational training for working professionals who want to acquire Spanish language skills for education, social setting and the workplace.

    The course work includes the acquisition of Spanish grammar, structure and sociolinguistic properties. The course work also walks students through the cognitive processes associated with interpretation between Spanish and English and the structure and character of the Hispanic community.

    Individuals looking to have a dynamic career with flexible workloads can use this certificate to set up a freelancing interpreting business. While the number of Spanish-speaking students and patients at schools and hospitals has increased, this increase has not been matched by English speakers learning Spanish to keep up with the demand for bilingual speakers.
