We specialize in preparing fully bilingual individuals in Spanish and English to be State Court, Medical and Professional Interpreters. SCSI Online launched in March, 2020, as the alternative to our well renowned former campus. As the leading online Spanish language interpreter training school, we follow one simple philosophy, “Provide the best online programs using the latest state-of-the-art technology applied to online interpreter training.”
