Hi Jose, it shouldn't be a problem but call the interpreter's unit and they can confirm. Lots of luck!

That's a question for who you are working for. Usually it's 7hrs with a 1hr lunch.

Hi, so currently I have no classes.

I just read your comments, I don't know if you have already gotten the information about it, I am taking my medical interpreter Training with MITIO, but you can go over ATA, American translator Association, make sure that the course is accredited. I hope this information can help you.

what position is this?

Hi Elizabeth lots of luck with you becoming a Spanish interpreter in Texas! As far as you finding a job that will all depend on you and the amount of work in your area. I must say that this field has changed due to COVID-19 but the need is still there we need to see what the new norm will be.

Make sure to get virtual training too.

@@elsagonzalez3164 Yes, I'm looking into doing online training. I sure hope the change that is happening now and still to happen in the future doesn't affect court interpreters in a negative way. Thank you VERY much for your response!!!

Hi each court is different too much to answer.

Hi welcome, so having a certificate always helps to show that you have some training depending on where you live and where you will be working may vary. I am certified both medical and legal some jobs do not require but it has help open doors to say that I have a certification. Call local agencies and ask how much they pay if you are certified to get a better idea, good luck!

@@elsagonzalez3164 May I ask can you make a living with getting both medical and legal certifications?

Glad you enjoyed the video welcome. So to become a Federal interpreter go to the website in the state you live in: www.uscourts.gov/services-forms/federal-court-interpreters. Keep practicing terminology in the field that interest you legal, medical, get the ACEBO books very helpful, work on grammar read as much as you can get a mentor and shadow other interpreters. Look out for more videos coming soon!

Are you taking any interpreter courses or at set up a one on one with someone certified for training with you a couple of times it helps to get feedback. I can help let me know.

ELSA GONZALEZ I am not taking interpreter courses but on Georgia ‘s website for court interpreters they have study material. Which I have been studying from.

@@janetsierra9638Great anything you can do helps, lots of luck.

ELSA GONZALEZ I would love some help thank you.

@John Waters hey I’m in the Indianapolis area how can I apply for medical interpreter a lady in Eskenazi hospital told me to apply there. Do you have any recommendations where I can get help

How much you earn on monthly basis

Well that sounds pretty discouraging.

Are you staff or freelance? I assume, Spanish.

To became a medical interpreter in Indianapolis you have to be able to be certified in Bringing the Gap , the cost of the course is $1000 dollars and you can find the website in the internet

Interpreting is an excellent career! Let me know how I can help.

You are welcome more videos soon!

Hi Austin welcome! There is a difference in salary not only in medical and legal but it mostly depends on what City/State you are in and how busy you are. Example: meaning the demand do hospitals in your area require a certified interpreter? If you get a legal certification in most cities it is accepted for both legal and medical. I have both certifications but legal has always open more doors including medical. As far as salaries it does depend on your city if you are working through an agency or directly for a hospital, that you have to look into maybe indeed can help. As far as federal level for medical I am not aware, my advise would be is get certified in both legal and medical, like I said my legal has opened more doors in my State then anything else and then get medical. Lot's of luck! I started in NY making 3digits high demand in legal moved to NJ after 911 and still made decent money but took a while to make 3 digits, so do you're homework and don't give up.

@@exactospanishinterpretersl8870 thank you so much for this information!! This definitely helps with developing a more solid plan!

what are the good interpreters companies for independent free lansers… I heard cyracom etc is good to start

@@SeanDonrad1Hi Sean, there are so many companies now with this industry growing each day more and more but it also does depend if you are looking for telephonic work which pays much less but you can do it as a side job, try CLI or Language Line, for on site you have to check what is available where you live! Hope this was helpful!
