HIGHLY QUALIFIED INTERPRETERS
IST understands the need for quality interpreters better than anyone. IST’s non-profit arm, the Barbra Schlifer Clinic, continues to use IST to serve its own clients – a job which requires exceptionally trained interpreters that are able to handle high stress situations with a nuanced understanding of sensitive topics. We use the same interpreters to provide you with the highest quality services.
IST interpreters receive over 154 hours of training. They adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and they bring sensitivity and professionalism to each assignment.
All of our interpreters strictly adhere to the Standards of Practice and Ethical Principles as set out by the National Standard Guide for Community Interpreting Services (NSGCIS) and a Code of Ethics, as well as sign Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreements.
IST Interpreters display high standards of conduct which is vitally important, not only in the administration of justice, but in promoting confidence in our clients.
It has been my pleasure to work with BSCC interpreters. I commend the good work they do to ensure our clients have a voice in a process that is often unfamiliar, confusing and traumatic.
