NITA Presents: Training for Health Care Interpreters (40 hours) – Spring 2010

by NITA Administrator ~ January 3, 2010

NOTES: Unfortunately, due to a lack of registrations for this course offered in Reno, these classes have been cancelled. Presently, we’re planning on offering a series of classes specific to health care interpreting in Las Vegas, sometime during the fall of 2010. The next opportunity for health care interpreters in the Reno / Sparks / Carson City area to follow this course will be next year, in the spring of 2011. If you are interested in a skill building workshop you are invited to check out NITA’s four interpreter training sessions for a total of 10 hours, offered in Reno, in late March and April; they are, however, language specific (i.e.: Sp <> En)
