Written Exam and Orientation Class
Spring registration opens in mid-February
(class/exam in March).
Fall registration opens in mid-August (class and exam in September).
The
Orientation class will familiarize you with the Virginia Judicial System
and Courtroom protocol.
This class is not intended to prepare you for the written exam. The written
exam is an intermediate level exam and requires months of extensive self
preparation. The materials provided at the orientation class will not be
part of the written exam, and are just given as a source of general information.
The following dates and locations have not been secured. Please do
not attempt to register until further notice. Once registration is open,
you can follow the instructions under the title: How to Register for an Interpreter
Program.
Note: These tentative dates are posted for planning purposes only. Please do not attempt to register until the class is open for enrollment.
