The most valuable knowledge tends to come from listening to the experiences of others. What’s the best part of any CPD event? The Q&A at the end, of course!
You all know our wonderful CPD presenter team by now and you can now view the CPD training material they’ve helped us create on our portal, 24/7. What we are bringing you here is a chance to have an informal, friendly chat with the presenters and other linguists!
Share your experiences of working in particular settings, listen to the interpreting successes and dilemmas of others, and, most importantly, get to know other linguists!
Interpreting can be a very lonely role, as we are all scattered all over the country and tend to operate on our own. However, interpreters are also wonderful people, friendly, personable, funny and very chatty! So bring a drink and some snacks, join a Teams session when it suits you and have some CPD fun!
As a CPD Central subscriber, you have access to all of these events. All of ISL’s live events are subject to the Live Events Policy. Please make sure you familiarise yourself with this prior to attending any event.
