Preparation for the California Court Interpreter Examination: An Interview

Throughout my training in the field of interpretation, I've observed a strong desire from new students to understand what it really takes to pass the California Court Interpreter Examination. In order to gain a better understanding of both the examination and preparation process, I interviewed Edgar Hidalgo Garcia, a state certified court interpreter. In this interview, Edgar offers personal anecdotes and advice for preparing to pass this examination.

PART I: Introduction and Training


PART II: Preparation and Examination

Edgar Hidalgo Garcia earned a bachelor of arts degree in Translation and Interpretation from California State University, Long Beach and has presented for the National Association of Judiciary Interpreters and Translators.

Estimado Nick:

Concuerdo plenamente con los consejos que brinda el Senor Garcia para aprobar el examen estatal para interprete judicial...considero que son conceptos que se podrian emplear para cualquier otro examen de aptitud o destreza verbal como los que el menciona en el video. Enhorabuena y gracias a los dos por este blog informativo y util para todo interprete/traductor o estudiante. Jorge Hernandez
