Special Education Interpreter & Translator Training

Your bilingual staff are a hidden asset. They know your families, your school system, and your community. But bilingual fluency is not the same as professional interpreting.

IEP meetings demand accuracy, confidence, and precision under pressure. When speakers talk quickly, use complex terminology, or give long explanations, untrained staff can be forced to summarise rather than interpret everything that is said. That can leave families without full access to decisions about their child's education.

Our Interpreter Training Programme equips bilingual school staff with the practical skills to interpret accurately and professionally in high stakes school meetings. Participants learn consecutive interpreting, note taking, managing speaker pace, professional boundaries, common IEP terminology, and an introduction to simultaneous interpreting.

Train your bilingual staff. Build in house capacity. Help families fully understand the goals, services, and decisions discussed in IEP meetings. When families understand, they can become genuine partners in their child's education.
