Clients throughout Massachusetts and across the country effectively address their needs for medical interpreters with the help of our train-the-trainer program, delivered in conjunction with the national Area Health Education Center network.
Our staff provides on-site training to enable these trainers to teach our 60-hour Fundamentals of Medical Interpreting course.
Our train-the-trainer curriculum provides these already-skilled interpreters with the knowledge and tools to be able to competently assess, motivate, teach, and evaluate future medical interpreter students.

 - Principles of adult learning
 - Role of the trainer
 - Different learning styles
