California has recently announced an additional Mandarin court interpreting exam, creating a valuable and time-sensitive opportunity for qualified candidates. So we are offering a short-term, intensive exam preparation course designed specifically for interpreters who plan to sit for this upcoming test.
This emergency prep course focuses on targeted practice in sight translation, consecutive interpreting, and simultaneous interpreting, with the goal of helping students refocus their preparation, strengthen core skills, and adjust their exam readiness within a limited timeframe. Instruction emphasizes efficient practice, exam-oriented performance, and practical strategies for approaching the interpreting components of the test.
This course is best suited for candidates who have prior exam experience and are planning to retake the court interpreter exam, as well as those seeking focused, short-term preparation to make the most of this additional testing opportunity.

Our classes are conducted online via Zoom, allowing you to receive top-quality, instructor-led training from the comfort of your home. No commute, no boundaries. You are just one click away from advancing your interpreting career
We offer small class setting, so that every student gets enough attention. Classes will form with as little as three students. Spots are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Exam opportunities are extremely valuable, and missing a testing window often means waiting six months to a year for the next chance. For this reason, students who enroll in this course are expected to commit sufficient time and effort to their preparation. To make the most of this opportunity, participants should plan to dedicate at least 3 to 4 hours of focused study each day, maintaining consistent intensity throughout the preparation period.
Opportunities favor those who are prepared.
Stay focused, stay disciplined, and let preparation open the door!
