Objectives
- Acquire the fundamental skillset required to successfully train simultaneous interpreters
Audience
Professional interpreter wanting to develop a comprehensive understanding of the simultaneous interpreting process in order to train the next generation of simultaneous interpreters using systematic teaching methods
