Catalog Description
The BC ASL Interpreter Training Program is a two-year opportunity for students who wish to enter the field of sign language interpreting.

In addition, students will reflect an in-depth understanding of business practices, specialized settings, and professional ethics. Program completers will be able to attain employment in an under-staffed field, working independently in the community, for academic and governmental agencies, and private businesses.
