We understand that most of the candidates preparing for the Oral Portion of the Federal Court Interpreter Exam already have experience interpreting and/or have had extensive interpreter training. This is why we developed a course that puts all of these skills to use by applying them to materials relevant to the test. This course helps interpreters improve their scores through key terminology practices and studying the way the test is built and rated. Prepare with our learning resources, and overcome some of the most common obstacles encountered during the test such as high register texts and expert witness testimonies.

Advanced Interpreting Techniques
Your Federal Interpreter Exam Prep is made up of 3 live webinars and 6 pre-recorded webinars. We have taken advantage of this advanced content to create an Online Course that will grant you several Continuing Education Units; the Advanced Interpreting Techniques course will appear on your user account library once you register and will give you access to all of the Federal Oral Exam Prep features. Here are some of the topics we will discuss during this twenty hour course:
1
Advanced Sight Translation
Sight translation is perhaps one of the most challenging components in interpreting due to the formality (high register) of the documents. In the first 3 hours we will focus on interpreting English to Spanish police/investigative reports (dealing with drugs, immigration, gang-related terminology, etc.) for crimes that are committed across states. They are usually drug & weapon related and have immigration repercussions. The next 3 hours will be dedicated to varied Spanish to English texts that tend to be the most complicated and frequent.

2
Consecutive Interpreting
As the type of hearings and subject matter get more complex so does the consecutive component. Longer utterances, higher register vocabulary, and a faster pace make for a perfect storm. It is imperative that the interpreter be exposed to techniques that will prepare them for these types of situations.
In these 4 hours, we will help participants improve their skills and, at the same time, expose them to diverse scenarios such as drug trafficking cases, terrorism, cartel related crimes, identity theft rings, and immigration.

Simultaneous Interpreting
Interpreters are exposed daily to many types of cases that require the use of the simultaneous mode of interpretation. These include sentencing, jury instructions, hearings, and closing arguments. However, it is not a daily occurrence that an interpreter is assigned to interpret for an expert witness. The subject matter that the interpreter is required to master is extremely diverse and requires a great deal of technological knowledge. Some examples include computer experts, serologists, toxicologists, fingerprint experts, toolmark specialists, crime scene detectives, forensic entomologists, pathologists, special task force agents, and many others. In these 8 hours, the interpreters will be exposed to real life transcripts of the testimony of these experts; they will hear brief presentations of the specialized subject matter and be able to interpret complex technical terms.
