This is a great company to start your interpreting career. I really enjoy working as a medical interpreter for ILS. I didn't have much experience as an interpreter before, so the training course was really helpful. It's great to be able to make my own hours and choose which appointments to take. I appreciate that they call me when there is an appointment available. Some other agencies only send text alerts to every interpreter at the same time, so if you don't accept the appointment quickly enough, you won't get it. The main issue being an independent contractor for any agency is it's hard to get enough hours to make a living, so you will probably need to do other part-time work. Even though the training course costs money, the good thing is once you get your medical interpreting certificate, you can get more interpreting opportunities from other agencies.

I remember Gabriela was my instructor when I was taking the course and she’s really thorough at the materials. It was a great course getting me introduced to the hospital settings: ethically and professionally. The schedule has always been flexible that I can arrange according to my itinerary.

The interpreters training courses at ILS are amazing. I was privileged of having Karen, Elvira and Matthew as trainers. They covered important theoretical, technical, and ethical issues that enabled me to be a qualified interpreter ready to cover the Health System needs and, maybe, pursue my certification. The Dispatchers are very cooperative and organized, excellent people!. As a physician coming from abroad, I feel very happy to help patients and providers to effectively communicate with each other. I bet for the continued success of ILS, and for having the opportunity to help their growth if it were possible.

I have on occasion conducted training at ILS. International Language services offers training courses and also provides work to interpreters upon completion of the required course work. Their quality and professionalism standards are very high and are based on the requirements of the Health Care Industry. I believe they are the leader in Medical interpreting due to the quality of their interpreters. The interpreting business like all businesses, has its ups and downs and dependent on many economic and regulatory conditions.
