Welcome to The Language Bank Training! In order to give you a better overview of what translating and interpreting entail, we have created some training materials.

Please complete the General module, as well as the Interpreting and Translation modules depending on the services you will be offering for The Language Bank. The videos contain questions to check your understanding of the material, and there is a short quiz after each reading. Approximate times for each activity are given so that you can plan your time.

Once you have completed them, please send an email to languagebank@sas.rutgers.edu. After checking the completion of your training, we will upgrade you as volunteer and you will be ready to start receiving assignments.
