Course Description

Kapi`olani Community College and the Hawai`i State Judiciary are collaborating together to offer a specialized Court Interpreter training program. There will be 12 on-line synchronous sessions with a final in-person four-hour session to evaluate the students' understanding of the content and demonstration of their interpreting skills. There is a significant shortage of Court Interpreters statewide. This program is designed to prepare students for a Tier 1 level job.
