A 9 MODULE ONLINE CPD Masterclass BY OUR AWARD-WINNING TRAINERS, TO increase your Interpreting skills.

Being fluent in 2 languages is the basic requirement for an Interpreter, of course, but being able to read nonverbal communication takes an Interpreter to a higher level of capability, resulting in being booked time and time again - more work, more sophisticated work, and better-paid work.

Nonverbal Communication can be defined as any form of communication that doesn’t use spoken words. This is incredibly important for an Interpreter, and is second only to understanding at least 2 languages. This Masterclass looks at what we do, why we do it, and how we can harness it to become superb Interpreters. Body language, including facial expressions and movements, eyes and eye contact, hand and arm movement and gestures, our physicality and body movements, the way we position ourselves and our posture, tone of voice and sounds, and habitus, all form our nonverbal personality which is expressed to others whether we like it or not!

Therefore, learning the science behind it, how to read others, cultural examples and how you can be better, is crucial to taking your Interpreting career to the next level.

Museum & Gallery Translation Masterclass

"Solid, accessible foundation course. This masterclass provides a solid overview of museum and gallery translation, the kind of work it involves, its peculiarities and challenges, along with tips for further research and a long list of links to specialised glossaries. I was particularly impressed by the effort that was made to make the course materials accessible to a wide range of learners by providing them in both audio and visual form (the latter including downloadable PDFs for each module, which saves a lot of note-taking time!)." Rated 5 out of 5.

Jimena, Linguist CV Masterclass 2022

"Helpful and to the point! It is a concise course with all the necessary information, including specific details, to build the CV. It invites you to think about who you are, and how to show that to the recruiters". 5 out of 5 stars.

Anne D, Linguist CV Masterclass 2022

"Simple, clear, to the point - just like your CV should be! I was curious when an invitation to take this free course landed in my inbox, so I started it straight away. It's good practice to review your CV on a regular basis anyway, so I had nothing to lose. Although most of the advice is tailored specifically to linguists, it can easily be applied to any CV. The information is simple, clear and to the point. The employer/agency needs to know ......, because of ....., so you need to put this information on your CV, in this format." 5 out of 5 stars.

Anna Z, Linguist CV Masterclass 2022

"Very useful. Some UK specific requirements are really useful for those who plan to work in the UK". 5 out of 5 stars.

Olga, Linguist CV Masterclass 2022

“Very useful course! The course was interesting and, as always, there was something new to learn. I liked that everything was very well explained with the examples. I will definitely apply all I learnt in my own CV and continue develop my professional skills further. Thank you very much for the interesting and informative course. :) And downloadable example of CV was a nice bonus! “5 out of 5 stars.
