Prep Workshop in Consecutive Interpreting

This workshop is designed for interpreters who will be taking the Oral Exam to become certified or to maintain their Qualified status. It is language neutral and will focus on the skills needed to do well on the test. Attendance is limited to the first 20 registrants.

NOTE: Priority will be given to the first 20 non-certified interpreters to register. When the 20 spots are filled, we will start a waiting list. We wish for everyone to benefit from this session, so please be considerate if things change from your end, and notify us via email at info@mitin.org by Wednesday, April 24 so that we may contact the next individual on the list. Again, priority is given to non-certified interpreters.

Registration Fee: Pay at the door. Please bring a check (payable to MiTiN) or exact change.
