Curriculum

What You'll Actually Be Able to Do

No hypotheticals. You'll practice with real UAE court scenarios, under guidance from someone who has stood in them.

1

UAE Court Procedure & Interpreter Role

How civil, criminal, commercial, and personal-status courts operate in the UAE — and exactly where the interpreter sits, speaks, and stays silent.

2

Legal Terminology Under Pressure

Arabic-English legal vocabulary across criminal, commercial, family, and administrative law — practiced at court speed, not classroom speed.

3

Witness Examination Interpreting

Consecutive mode under adversarial questioning. Preserve register, hesitation, and meaning when the outcome depends on your word choice.

4

Sight Translation

Read legal documents — evidence, rulings, statements — in one language and render them aloud accurately in the other, on the spot.

5

Interpreter Ethics & Impartiality

The red lines: no advice, no omission, no editorializing. How to handle conflicts of interest, ambiguity, and emotional witnesses.

6

Sworn & Affidavit Interpretation

Handle oaths, affidavits, and sworn statements with the exactness UAE law requires. Navigate the court-accepted interpreter workflow.

FAQ

Before You Enroll

Do I need a law degree?+

No — but strong Arabic-English bilingual fluency is essential. We teach the legal system and terminology you need; you bring the language.

Will this qualify me to interpret in UAE courts?+

The course prepares you with the skills UAE courts demand. Official court interpreter assignment is handled by UAE Ministry of Justice separately — this training is the foundation that makes you competitive in that process.

Can I observe real court sessions?+

Professional Track includes observing a real UAE court session where Dr. Hani is interpreting, subject to court access rules and schedule. International students may observe remotely where permitted.

Is confidentiality taught?+

Yes — confidentiality, impartiality, and interpreter ethics are threaded through every session. You will learn the professional codes that keep you hirable (and legally safe) for life.

Can I pay in installments?+

Yes — 50% on enrollment, 50% before mid-point session. WhatsApp us to arrange.
