will i need two interpreters?

assignments over two hours may require a second interpreter. some factors considered when determining how many interpreters you will need include duration, complexity, setting, and type of assignment.

if it is determined that you will need two or more interpreters, additional interpreters will be secured for you from a network of pre-screened interpreters.
