Trained and Qualified Employee Interpreters
All our employee interpreters are first vetted, screened, and tested for bilingualism. The candidates that pass initial screening then complete the instructor-led training program that CyraCom developed in-house.
Interpreter Training for Healthcare
During our extensive training program, an instructor teaches our interpreter candidates interpretation best practices, protocols, and vocabulary reviews for the healthcare industry. Before graduating to the call floor, employee interpreters must pass written and oral tests.
