"I just wanted to email you to let you know I passed my state exam!! I’m now a certified Court Interpreter ️but really I owe a lot to you. I took your preparation seminar just before the exam, I sat in the front row. This is my second time taking the test and I feel confident had I taken your course sooner maybe I would’ve passed the first time. Either way, thank you! Thank you!! I’ve taken other webinars of yours and they are great. Thank you for the great material and help!!!"

"I had been trying since 2011 to pass my oral exam with no success. I failed 7 times. 7 times. Here I am in 2019 and after my 8th try, I finally did it. I passed it and am now a court certified interpreter. What was the difference this time around? I had Mr. Hidalgo's help. He truly, truly gave me the tools that I needed to go from "almost passing" to "passing with flying colors". My only regret was not having his help years ago. This is the best course to take! Thank you!"

"This class was outstanding! I learned so much! I would like a part 2.... the only problem was the sound...sometimes I couldn't hear and I have never had that problem in any of the classes. When that happened, I had to replay the video several times to try to catch what I missed. Mil gracias!!!"

"I enjoyed this presentation as the instructor’s comments were very on point regarding what has happened in society. I also believe that society has turned their back on God and the “religious fiber” that held our communities together is not there. Thank you for a good presentation. Thank you Ted!"

Advanced Consecutive Techniques
Liliana Perdomo
"Thank you Edgar! I always enjoy your classes. Even though it was a pre-recorded webinar and it's hard for me to have the discipline to do it, I like the fact that I can stop the recording and take a break and continue later. I need to practice with your exercises. I did better than I expected with the ones not taking notes. I think I get too nervous in the stand and forget stuff. I need to improve and practice my symbols."

"Hi Edgar!! Thank you for a wonderful session! I have been interpreting for 3 years in healthcare and I can relate to everything you have said. I personally never developed the practice of note taking and it was discouraged in the beginning for the exact reasons you stated in the presentation. With that being said, once my confidence level grew by tiny fractions :) only then did I incorporate note taking as a tool to help interpret. I have seen a seasoned interpreter note take consistently and her interpretations were spot on. Something to strive for. Thank you again!"

"Well done! I took Ms. Valencia's course a while back and already have her book. Trying to learn all her note-taking techniques was somewhat overwhelming and so the book has been on my bookshelf since I took the course. But your all-encompassing approach to consecutive interpreting has inspired me to improve my memory and note-taking techniques even though I have been interpreting for many years now. Time to devote some time on that book and your suggestions from this webinar."

"I am happy I took this Webinar. I learned very useful tools. I liked the way you teach, it was easy for me to engage in the learning process. I will definitely try to learn and implement new things from the book you suggested. The “Volunteer” part is nerve racking."

"Thank you for creating this content!!! Sometimes we get bombarded with the same information over and over again, book style like (not close to reality) and very repetitive. Thankfully this was NOT the case! Extremely thankful for this course."

"Edgar Hidalgo, this was a wonderful class full of excellent tips and methods for interpretation in the consecutive mode. I hope i can keep my copy of the video so i can watch it again. You are a wonderful teacher and it is a relief to see someone who can explain and analysis the complicated concepts of the consecutive."

"The course was fantastic. Edgar is such a knowledgeable and humourous teacher. I have learned so much, not just consecutive techniques but vocabularies, pronunciation, and rhythm. I will surely buy more courses."
