Summer
2008 Train-the-Trainer Program
Culturesmart’s
train-the-trainer course
is five days of practical
preparation for delivering
our The Essential Piece medical
interpreting training program.
Our train-the-trainer
sessions focus exclusively
on conducting a mock course
of The Essential Piece.
Though we may occasionally
mention principles behind
techniques, all participants
are expected to be familiar
with basic principles of
training adult learners.

plus Culturesmart manuals
and a copy of Dr. Charles
Clayman’s The
Human Body.

What Does a Trainer Do?
Culturesmart’s Essential
Piece curriculum has
two elements, so we offer
three tracks for trainers:
- Lead
trainers learn
to deliver “foundation” course
training, in English, on
ethics, skills, standards
of practice, and other
aspects of interpreting.
- Language
coaches are
trained for work with language-specific
groups, covering difficult
vocabulary and role plays
that reinforce skills.
- Some individuals serve
as lead trainers and language
coaches so attend a combined
train-the-trainer course.
We developed manuals
to guide new and experienced
trainers through delivery
of our foundation course
and language coaching sessions.
Although all trainers must
cover standard Essential
Piece elements when
they lead courses, our
guidebooks encourage
individuality among trainers.
Who Should Attend?
Culturesmart accepts highly
talented and qualified individuals
for our train-the-trainer
courses. Most successful
candidates have completed
facilitation skills training.
Most have also attended our Essential
Piece training.
We examine 10 criteria using
a proprietary scoring system
that evaluates many other
factors in trainer candidates,
including:
- medical interpreting
experience
- academic background
- training experience,
including medical interpreting
training
- medical training
