The Language Interpreter Training Program (LITP) is designed to train, at the college level, professional interpreters who can perform with a high degree of competence in the legal, health care and community sector.
Seneca Polytechnic was the first college to offer LITP, which was developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration, the Ministry of the Attorney General and Health and Social Service agencies.
This certificate program is 180 hours in duration and includes 6 courses that integrate theories, principles, concepts and practical application as well as the skills development required for the field of interpretation.
Students are required to take the courses in order. Some of the courses may be offered online.
To have your English skills assessed and ensure you meet program eligibility, please register for our ELL100 assessment.

Prior Learning Assessment is a method of assessing and recognizing learning that is equal to
college level learning, but has been gained outside a traditional classroom (through work
experience, volunteering, outside study, etc.). If you can prove that the knowledge you have gained
meets the outcomes of a Seneca course, then credit will be awarded.
How does the PLA process work?
Prior Learning is demonstrated through a "challenge" process. The process measures learning
through a variety of methods which may include tests, portfolio assessment, interviews,
demonstrations, essays, and work samples. The method used will be determined in consultation with a
Program Coordinator.
For more information and to determine if you are eligible for PLA, please call the Program
Coordinator.
The process may take from 6 to 8 weeks.
Note: Not all courses can be challenged. For more information go to PLA website or contact your Program Coordinator.
Many students who enter Seneca Polytechnic will have earned academic credits in postsecondary educational institutions which they may be able to apply toward completion of a Seneca Polytechnic program.
