Course Description
From On-Site to Virtual prepares interpreters who currently work on-site to shift to remote modalities — over-the-phone and video-remote/telehealth. It combines practical guidance, policy awareness, and hands-on practice so participants can provide accurate, ethical, and professional services when they cannot be physically present with clients or providers.
Program Goal
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to deliver accurate, ethical, and professional interpreting services across both on-site and remote modalities.
