HMC Connections provides full translation and interpretation at reasonable prices for a wide range of applications. We hire both ATIO Certified and Official translators and interpreters who can translate documents such as, passport stamps, birth certificate, marriage certificates, identification cards or other legal documents. This fee for service is offered to all individuals and service providers.
We can also provide translation for special projects such as brochures, flyers, presentations, video transcribing and more. We are experts on fitting and formatting languages to be consistent with the original layout and design.
If you need interpretation, our interpreters are also fully certified and we speak more than 130 languages. If cultural context is important to your interpretation then consider asking for a cultural broker who will help give cultural context to your conversation instead of only the direct translation. Cultural brokers are trained to help explain the context if culture and relationships are important to your conversation.
HMC Connections offers the CILISAT certification and an online Core Interpreting Training Course.
Your next steps to becoming a language interpreter at HMC.
HMC offers the CILISAT test which assesses your language fluency skills in your spoken languages and English in an interpreter simulation environment. We also offer an optional orientation which covers the structure and content of the test as well as how to prepare for it.
Typically, free-lance interpreters at HMC are just required to do the CILISAT so we recommend starting with that before enrolling in the courses.
Whether you’re new to Canada, exploring career options, or looking to get involved in your community, we’re here to help.
