In 2008 Rangjung Yeshe Institute offered the first year of an intensive Translator Training Program. The program is designed to enable a student with a background in Buddhist Philosophy but no prior knowledge of Tibetan to become an oral translator of basic Tibetan Buddhist teachings in 12 months.

As the program is offered to fill a need for oral interpreters in the Tibetan Buddhist world community, graduates of the program commit to spending a minimum of one year following graduation serving as an interpreter for a Tibetan Buddhist teacher or community.
