This interactive online course is packed with over a dozen hands-on exercises that will walk you through setting up your remote interpreting studio.
In this course, we won't tell you which remote interpreting platform to use or whether you should interpret remotely. (Sometimes, it's the only option.) We will help you be prepared and equipped if the need ever arises. The upshot? You'll also be the star of every video conference coming your way.

I have found this learning platform very useful and informative. The course is particularly insightful because all the lectures are approached from the perspective of experienced conference interpreters. Often such training is provided by interpreting platforms designers and they can be subjective, so I certainly appreciated your unbiased reviews on various types of equipment, apps or tools.
It's a whole new ball-game, but you were great at explaining and showing the ins and outs.
Thank you for providing us with all this precious knowledge, not only for us as individual professionals trying to navigate these waters, but for the profession as a whole. Your recommendations serve interpreters, clients and participants and ensure people at large understand why interpreters are so valuable and why we need good working conditions: not only for ourselves, but to ensure a successful meeting.
Thank you for an extremely informative course. I am now much more confident about the technology required for remote interpreting and feel I would be better equipped to educate a client about it too.
This is a great course! And the timing could not be better. I have already recommended it to several colleagues. I learned so much through the actual lectures and also from all the links.
