Live Online Intro to Community Interpreting
Begins March 27th
This nine-hour community interpreting course will cover the critical skills and knowledge that an interpreter needs to launch or develop a strong community interpreting practice. Interpreters will learn about the simultaneous, consecutive, and sight translation modes of interpreting, and will learn and practice techniques to improve these skills. Interpreters will also explore real life decision making scenarios taken from the community interpreting context that regularly challenge the ethical boundaries community interpreters must maintain, and will learn to make decisions that balance practical considerations with the need for the interpreter to maintain a high standard of ethical conduct. Finally, interpreters will receive guidance in charting a path for professional growth, and will explore avenues for building their skills and expanding their interpreting practice.
