I have taken a LOT of interpreter training throughout the years. I am court certified in my home state and I’m preparing to become federally certified. There are many trainers out there, but none can compare to De la Mora Interpreter Training for more reasons than I can mention. No one makes class more amenable, and if you’re engaged, you learn.

“Excellent workshop. Mr. De la Mora not only has broad experience as an interpreter, but also incredible pedagogical skill, making the course productive, interesting, fun and easy to understand and apply.

“Was the best class ever taken. As you said, I also [began] interpreting [at] the age of 5. This class is going to help me very much for my future… becoming a better interpreter. I love the setup of the class. I now have a baseline. Thank you for your time and hard work [teaching] others.
