These courses, i hope,goes far and beyond from teaching simply a new skill, it teaches us to see the world and a third party as humans.

A real killing two birds with one stone kind of situation.

Greetings from Japan. I’ve been here since 1999. Passed the level 1 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test in 2006. Completed a MA in Advanced Japanese Studies through the University of Sheffield and graduated With Merit in 2012. I’ve been working at an elementary school doing textbook and document translation, interpreting, and teaching for the past 18 years. I decided to do this course, in addition to a few other online courses about interpreting, just to familiarize myself with the humanitarian aspect of interpreting, and to keep abreast of developments in interpreting. Looking forward to completing the course!

I am very excited to enroll in this course. I am currently enrolled in a Community Interpreter Program in Canada, as I am eager to begin my career in this field. I have been working as a freelance translator and aspire to become a qualified interpreter in the near future.
