Training Description: Consecutive interpreting often *seems* easier than simultaneous, because the interpreter isn't trying to listen and talk at the same time. However, consecutive isn't necessarily easier, and consecutive interpreting in court presents its own set of challenges, particularly when the interpreter's rendition serves as the official record, or when the parties in court grow impatient with the slower pace of consecutive. In this training session, we'll first look at the particular challenges of consecutive interpreting in court, then we'll talk about specific techniques to improve your consecutive interpreting: training yourself in long consecutive interpreting (including long consecutive without notes); improving your use of symbols and abbreviations and improving your ability to retain key pieces of information. We'll also talk about ways to improve your delivery in consecutive interpreting. This workshop will help you gain both skills and confidence; the content is based on the presenter's experience interpreting in court and other settings and completing a Master of Conference Interpreting in a program with a strong emphasis on consecutive.

Training Description: This training features an in-depth conversation on the code of ethics led by Judy Jenner, a federally certified court interpreter. This course examines how people often use a code of ethics as an excuse to avoid making decisions. This tendency can result in automatic refusals of reasonable requests out of fear of acting unethically. Participants will learn to distinguish between what is genuinely unethical versus what is unprofessional and how this "knee-jerk" reaction can sometimes hinder the advancement of the profession.
