This two-part, hands-on training series is designed to strengthen interpreting performance in immigration settings through focused, skills-based practice. Each session is 2.5 hours and follows a deliberate practice model that allows participants to apply techniques, receive feedback, and refine performance.

Participants will engage in structured interpreting exercises based on realistic immigration scenarios. The training is also designed to be replicated independently in a lab setting, encouraging continued practice and long-term skill development beyond the live sessions

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Deliver accurate and complete interpretations in both consecutive and short simultaneous modes

• Apply effective note-taking, memory, and active listening strategies

• Manage immigration-related discourse with clarity, coherence, and appropriate register

• Apply ethical decision-making and appropriate intervention techniques when needed

• Use self-recording and deliberate practice methods to reinforce and improve performance independently

Part 1: Consecutive Skills Lab

May 23, 2026 | 2.5 Hours

This session focuses on building accuracy and control in consecutive interpreting using structured exercises based on immigration interviews and client-attorney interactions

Part 2: Simultaneous Skills Lab

June 13, 2026 | 2.5 Hours

This session introduces and develops simultaneous interpreting skills through guided practice using short, progressively challenging segments. Participants will focus on improving processing speed, flow, and delivery while maintaining accuracy and appropriate register.

What you’ll need:

Participants are required to have a recording device (phone or recorder) available to record their practice for self-evaluation and feedback.
