Small Classes, Individual Attention

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.

Tip from the Instructors

Mastering court interpreting is a long-term journey that requires consistency, focus, and perseverance. Each course builds on the other, and progress comes with steady daily practice.

We encourage students to review class materials regularly, record and evaluate their own interpreting, and devote time each day to expanding vocabulary and strengthening both languages. Reading legal documents, listening to courtroom recordings, and practicing sight translation can all help reinforce your skills.

Remember, interpreting is not learned overnight. It’s built through discipline, reflection, and a genuine passion for communication and justice. Stay curious, keep practicing, and you’ll see your confidence and precision grow with every session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@chinesecourtinterpreters.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do I need to take all four courses, or can I enroll in just one?

Students have the flexibility to enroll in individual courses or register for the complete program package at a discounted rate. Each course is designed to stand on its own, but we strongly recommend completing all four courses, as the program is carefully structured to build skills progressively and provide a solid, well-rounded foundation for the state certification exam.

What kind of materials will be used?

All training materials are modeled after authentic courtroom documents and interpreting scenarios. They are carefully selected to reflect both real-world cases and the format of the state certification exam.

Who is this program designed for?

This program is designed for all bilingual English Chinese speakers who plan to take the state court interpreter certification exam. It is suitable for learners at every stage, from those just beginning their interpreting journey to experienced professionals seeking structured, exam-focused training.

How can I prepare before the program starts?

After registration, students will receive a vocabulary list of high-frequency legal terms. We encourage students to begin reviewing and reading in advance to build familiarity with legal language and get a head start before the program begins.

Will I pass the exam after completing the program?

The Chinese Court Interpreters does not and cannot guarantee that students will pass the state court interpreter certification exam. These courses are designed to prepare you as thoroughly as possible, but exam results depend on many factors，including each student’s language proficiency, study habits, and the amount of individual practice time invested.
