Paying it forward

In response to the pandemic and as a way to do my part, I will be holding weekly webinars during the month of April 2020 on the topic of Remote Interpretation. These webinars are free to all interpreters. I just request that you register so I can send you the link to join. You will receive the invitation with the link to join the day prior to the scheduled event. I will cover ways in which we can interpret remote, different modalities, different platforms available for consecutive and simultaneous interpretation.

I will also be offering my regular webinars as a bundle at a token fee. You do not need to sign up for paid webinars to attend the free one.

Here are the proposed dates for the webinars. I may offer different times and dates in the future as time permits.

No CE units are offered for the free webinars. I don’t have time to get pre-approval and issue certificates. That would require more time and tracking of attendance than I can afford at this time. These webinars are offered as a tool to help you expand your horizons in this time of crisis.
