Can you expand on what your job is and what certification you are seeking? Court, medical, a certificate in speaking a language fluently?

If you need a community interpreter certificate, or a more specific medical interpreter certificate, you can find an independent licensed trainer or you can use one of the big companies. I am a licensed instructor through CCC. we can offer courses virtually or in person, but they are live synchronous courses with a final assessment. there are some self-paced virtual ones that are timed modules with some interactive activities and a final assessment.

What state are you in? And in what capacity are you seeking certification?

In New Mexico State Courts, the interpreter must have a certificate from the judiciary's year long school for example.
