Company Profile
Mission
WorldWide Language Resources provides the best quality language services for the best price, in any language, anywhere, anytime, under any conditions.
Company History
In September of 1995, Lawrence P. Costa, former Command Language Program Manager of 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), founded WorldWide as a language consultant firm. WorldWide is a diverse company formed by associates having extensive international experience operating in countries on every continent. WorldWide's principals have over forty years combined experience in international operations management. The high-quality professional products and services of WorldWide are always delivered on time and in any place in the world. We have an expanded marketing scope that includes the needs of academia and industry, as well as Government and defense organizations.
WorldWide specializes in foreign language instruction, interpretation, and translation, as well as proficiency testing, language textbook development and editing, and analysis of language training requirements and programs. Initially, these services were primarily provided to the Intelligence community and Department of Defense. Our mission expanded in 1997 to include corporate and professional foreign language services and specialized/technical language training for business clients. In 2001, our mission significantly expanded to provide local and deployed US citizens linguists to accompany US and Coalition task forces to combat zones throughout the globe.
WorldWide’s accreditation provides verification of our management and language program’s consistency, experience and reliability. WorldWide is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training (ACCET), one of the thirteen organizations chartered by US Department of Education to award accreditation. Since WorldWide's founding, we have provided intensive language training to more than 4,000 students in over 45 languages and dialects for a total of almost 4 million class hours. More than 90% of these students have been Federal Government employees in full-time intensive programs.

They are equally reviewed for their translation, transcription, and technical expertise.
