Hi! i like to comment, that years ago i took the test but i never got any results i would like to get more information how oh what classes i need to take and how much i need to pay? thanks
Hi Maria, I’m not sure how you could not have received the results back from what I suppose was the written examination for the Nevada Certified Court Interpreter Program, but the best you can do is to get in touch with Ms. Andrea Krlickova, Program Manager for the state’s Court Interpreter Program (it is part of the Administrative Office of the Courts, of the Nevada Supreme Court). You can find her contact information on this webpage here. Through that webpage you can also explore the links for more information on the certification process. Good luck!
