Frequently Asked Questions
How can I get started?
Contact us for a free consultation about your needs in the language of your choice (American Sign Language or English). Based on our conversation, we will develop a service proposal with a structured timeline and measurable benchmarks to save you time, money, and labor.
Do you provide other services not mentioned on your website?
Yes! We can provide many other support services that ultimately result in more highly qualified interpreters with a global mindset toward diversity, inclusion, and equitable treatment of all people. These services include:
1. Performance and Efficiency Audits
2. Program Evaluation (grant projects or program reviews)
3. Inservice and Preservice Training: Holocaust Studies for Interpreters, Service Learning for Interpreters, Interpreting for People who are DeafBlind
4. Data mining, data collection, and data analysis to identify trends and opportunities
5. International collaboration models

If your ideas or needs relate to interpreter preparation, we want to hear from you! If your idea is beyond our areas of expertise, we have a network of other professionals who may be suited for your needs.
Can you help prepare interpreters for certification testing?
IEC does not provide interpreting or language mentorships, whether for testing preparation or skill development. However, we could try to refer you to people or businesses that offer these services.
If you have questions about the value of attending accredited programs that prepare you for credentialing tests, please drop us an email. For a list of accredited Interpreter Education Programs, visit the CCIE website.
Can IEC help us find interpreters?
IEC does not serve as an interpreter referral service. To locate an interpreter, please visit the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc.
