The Workshop

In coordination with the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, we are proud to offer our federal court interpreter certification oral exam prep workshop. Federal certification mean freedom for the interpreter to accept court assignment anywhere in the United States. It also opens up the possibility to generate a truly professional; income.

There are many workshops for you to choose, but nobody else offers you everything you will get with us. Because this workshop was planned with those colleagues who faced adversity last time, for the first time, we will offer a section on how to defend as an examinee in case the test is poorly administered once again. Join us and learn the tools you need to preserve a record, collect evidence, start a media campaign, and take legal action if necessary.

THE INSTRUCTORS

We will put all of our experience and knowledge to work for you!

Javier Castillo Jr. has over a decade of experience interpreting the most sensitive matters at the highest level of government. His experience as a federally certified court interpreter, the interpreting services he has provided to top diplomatic officers and government officers at the cabinet level, and his knowledge of the federal exam make him an ideal instructor for this workshop.

Tony Rosado has been interpreting at the highest level all over the world for 3 decades. His work as a federally certified court interpreter, together with his experience as a former rater of the test you are trying to pass, the fact that he is an attorney, and the countless times he has taught this workshop, puts him in an extraordinary position to help you fine tune your strong skills and strengthen the weaker ones.

THE PROGRAM

This workshop will definitely help you to become a better interpreter, but our main goal is for you to learn and understand what it is that the federal exam tests, so you can practice and study to pass. That is our main goal.

THE MATERIALS

We know how important it is for you to study and practice with materials similar to those of the exam. Fortunately, we are uniquely qualified to use our very own original materials, designed and crafted for this workshop with the legal knowledge and experience of by Mr. Rosado. Instead of working with the materials you already know, or having to practice with court transcripts that may or may not include relevant scoring units to pass this test, we offer you materials you will not find anywhere else.

THE PERSONALIZED ASSESMENT

There is nothing more frustrating than going home after a workshop without really knowing what to do to pass the exam. Tony and Javier will individually assess every participant in private, they will point out your strengths and will share tips on how to fine tune them. At the same time, they will both be brutally honest when explaining your weaknesses and addressing what needs to be done so you can pass the test.  Instead of frustration, you will go home with a personalized action plan so you can improve your skills and get to the exam better prepared than ever.
