Are There Any Training Programs for Tri-Lingual Interpreters?

Currently there are no training programs for tri-lingual interpreters here in California. Though interpreting-training programs are contemplating adding a tri-lingual program or tri-lingual classes, nothing yet has been established. There are training programs as well as certification available for a single language.
