VIRTUAL CLASSROOM FOR INTERPRETERS

CALI (Center for Atypical Language Interpreting) has developed a Program of Study that incorporates online learning modules, face-to-face instruction, and practical experience placements, followed by supervised induction and communities of practice.

The FREE self-paced online learning modules are delivered through their virtual classroom space. It's recommended that you complete the modules in order as the content builds upon the previous module(s).

4.2 CEUs are available at your own pace!
