You may be bilingual but perhaps have never interpreted professionally. You may be translators retraining to become remote interpreters. You may be language teachers looking for a new opportunity in the market place. Or you may have a different background altogether. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome! Those of you who have been interpreting for a while could jump straight into the Bootcamp to Become a Remote Interpreter (Modules 8-12), although you will be missing a lot of good information and practice.... but you don't have to go through the basics again.... although, I would say, why don't you polish your skills a little bit?
