Prepare for the work of interpreting
Bilingual Interpreter Preparation is Lincua Academy training for people exploring the interpreter role. The current program description centers on interpreting practice, ethics, and the professional expectations involved in helping people communicate across languages.
This is preparation for students, not a way to book an interpreter for an appointment. Organizations seeking a working interpreter should use Lincua's separate language-service request path.
