Voices of Success: What Our Alumni Say
Luckily, I passed my CILISAT exam in both Mandarin and Cantonese. Before this training, I honestly knew very little about the interpreting profession. Now, I feel confident, well-equipped, and looking forward to starting my career in this field. Many thanks to all the teachers! You are professional and compassionate. — Sujing, Professional Bilingual Interpreter
The courses they provided for community interpretation are really useful! I have successfully passed all my tests and contracted with an interpreting company. All the teachers are patient and responsible. The learning journey has been pleasant. — Wendy, Professional Mandarin Interpreter
Taking the three training courses and CILISAT test at CITG is one of the best decisions I have made. The instructors are professional, knowledgeable and patient. They share their best practices and give me valuable advice on how to become a professional interpreter. Even if you do not want to be an interpreter, taking the courses themselves can make your life in Canada easier. I highly recommend it. — Li, Graduate
The Community, Legal, and Medical Interpretation courses are very systematic. From professional ethics to basic vocabulary exercises, the instructors guide us step by step. Furthermore, the CITG online interpretation seminars, held throughout the year, are also very engaging. Each topic is explored in depth with a conversational, insightful style. This creates an immersive interpretation learning experience and a space that truly empowers students for career integration. — Lilly, Graduate
