HOW IS OUR INTERPRETER PROGRAM THE TOP CHOICE NATIONWIDE?

We are truly the best interpreter training agency in the country. Here are eight (8) key differentiators we have, when you are shopping around and making a decision. 

• Prisma Only Bonus Materials: Crisis Intervention CPI training for positioning in mental health and rehabilitation service assignments, added-on practices for simultaneous interpretation. We also provide complementary audio visual materials for healthcare system, The Affordable Care Act (ACA), what is medical insurance and why is it needed, assertive communication and body language, memory development exercises, simultaneous interpretation training and practices, and more.

• Certified ICF Coaching: 2-4 hours of International Coach Federation (ICF) Certified Coaching with an ICF CPC (142.50 hours of ACTSH training) or an ICF (ACC, PCC or MCC) Credential Coach , to help you navigate a job placement, prepare for an interview or even start your own business. The coaching is also provided by people in the industry, they understand the need and have the technical business background to help you succeed. 

• Class Materials: We are required to provide you with the comprehensive package: (1) Student Guidebook, (2) Glossary, and (3) Guide to Common Medications. When shopping around, please ensure other Bridging The Gap licensed agencies provide the full package. Many agencies only provide 1 or 2 out of the 3 required items. 

• Class Size: Classes are capped at 5 students. Most agencies will fill a class and some students practice assignment A, while others practices assignment B. We ensure all our students have experiential learning to fully equip you into the job market upon class completion. You won't just watch other people do the practices. You will do all the practices. You will be fully qualified to take a job upon completion of our unique program. 

• Testimonials: We have a 99% passing rate and our scores are above 90% average. Because classes are small, we guarantee learning.
