Interpreting Services

Interpreting Services provides high quality, student-centered and individualized services through the use of Registered Sign Language Interpreters (RSLIs), Deaf Interpreters (DIs), and TypeWell Transcribers.

As one of the only colleges in British Columbia to have full-time RSLIs and TypeWell Transcribers on staff, VCC has developed a well-respected reputation for its commitment to communication and equal access.

VCC interpreters provide an effective linguistic match for students who are Deaf, hard of hearing or DeafBlind.
