Advanced Consecutive Techniques
Liliana Perdomo
"Thank you Edgar! I always enjoy your classes. Even though it was a pre-recorded webinar and it's hard for me to have the discipline to do it, I like the fact that I can stop the recording and take a break and continue later. I need to practice with your exercises. I did better than I expected with the ones not taking notes. I think I get too nervous in the stand and forget stuff. I need to improve and practice my symbols."

"Hi Edgar!! Thank you for a wonderful session! I have been interpreting for 3 years in healthcare and I can relate to everything you have said. I personally never developed the practice of note taking and it was discouraged in the beginning for the exact reasons you stated in the presentation. With that being said, once my confidence level grew by tiny fractions :) only then did I incorporate note taking as a tool to help interpret. I have seen a seasoned interpreter note take consistently and her interpretations were spot on. Something to strive for. Thank you again!"

"Well done! I took Ms. Valencia's course a while back and already have her book. Trying to learn all her note-taking techniques was somewhat overwhelming and so the book has been on my bookshelf since I took the course. But your all-encompassing approach to consecutive interpreting has inspired me to improve my memory and note-taking techniques even though I have been interpreting for many years now. Time to devote some time on that book and your suggestions from this webinar."

"I had been trying since 2011 to pass my oral exam with no success. I failed 7 times. 7 times. Here I am in 2019 and after my 8th try, I finally did it. I passed it and am now a court-certified interpreter. What was the difference this time around? I had Mr. Hidalgo's help. He truly, truly gave me the tools that I needed to go from "almost passing" to "passing with flying colors." My only regret was not having his help years ago. This is the best course to take! Thank you!"

"I recommend Mr. Edgar Hidalgoās/Trainsinterpreting Training Course to anyone who wishes to increase their possibilities of passing the California Court Bilingual Interpreting Exam. The practices and materials Mr. Hidalgo provided were clear and became a key part of my studies. For me, this was highly effective. Hence, I passed on my second attempt with high marks. Had I taken this course before, I might have passed on my first try. Thank you, Mr. Hidalgo, for helping me reach this goal."

"Hello Edgar, I wanted to thank you again for the classes on Preparation for the Certification Test. I passed on my first try. I know I couldn't have done it without your class. You gave many tips that came in handy for the test. I know that I really needed them. You were kind and positive since the first time I contacted you and you really gave me the push and inspiration I needed to step out of my comfort zone and take the test! I remember how you said it really costs us a lot of money NOT to pass the test. I agree! Your class is worth the investment many times over!! I highly recommend it!"

"Hello Edgar: Iām writing to let you know that I have finally passed the March 2019 Oral Exam!! For me, itās truly been a journey. Itās so difficult to have a chance at passing an exam of this caliber without first having some great guidance. The material that you provide does give our interpreters that fighting chance and that extra push that is needed to make it over the finish line! I would highly recommend that any individual looking to get their court certification first come and see you because I know that you will help in changing their lives just like youāve changed mine. Thank you so much!Ā "

"Interpreting is in itself a universe of perennial learning that makes preparing for an exam overwhelming and confusing. What to study? Where to start? Edgar Hidalgo has the vision, talent, and experience to summarize the essential and simplify the preparation to take the Oral and the Written Court Interpreter Certification State Exams. I took his two āTransinterpretingā courses and I am proud to have passed both State Exams in my first try last September! (2017) I just got my results! Thank You, Edgar, for assisting me to take my professional career to a different level!"
