Read what our members are saying about us!

Near the end of my 40-hour interpreter training, I really wanted some live practice. That’s when I found Interpremed. The monthly study guides and frequent practice sessions have been so helpful for me to gain confidence and experience! I really appreciate the feedback from Nanyi and the other interpreters I practice with during the sessions. I had my first appointment as a Spanish medical interpreter today and it was in women’s health, which was last month’s study guide. The materials and the practice helped me do so well in this first session! I highly recommend Interpremed.
