Remote interpreting has opened up the world for interpreters. It provides work and incredible career opportunities for interpreters all over the world. However, remote interpreters often work in isolation. It can be a challenge to receive or give feedback on performance.
For practice professionals, self-reflection and evaluation are essential. It's also important to know how give feedback to other interpreters. Yet if you were able to evaluate your own performance or the work of other remote interpreters, which skill sets and areas would you target? How would you partner with a peer to enhance your skills? This self-evaluation tool will guide you!
In this webinar, we will introduce you to a self-evaluation tool based on years of remote interpreting performance by spoken- and signed-language interpreters, peer feedback, and interpreting quality experts. We will also do a role play that models how to use this self-evaluation tool with peers. The presenters will demonstrate how to ask thought-provoking questions to help interpreters self-identify their areas of growth and success rather than just telling them where they can improve.
This tool will be published exclusively in the forthcoming textbook, The Remote Interpreter from Cross-Cultural Communications. Join us to get a sneak peek as well as a front row seat as we unveil this self-evaluation tool for the first time in public. Then watch peer coaching in action!

No, CCC is an organization dedicated solely to interpreter and cultural competence training. Our mission is language access. However, we do provide graduates of The Community Interpreter® with a list of nearby language companies and public organizations that employ interpreters. We also occasionally send out job postings to our program graduates and/or e-newsletter subscribers at the request of other organizations.
Cross-Cultural Communications is the leading international training agency in the U.S. devoted to community interpreting, educational interpreting, healthcare interpreting and cultural competence. It is also the only organization that licenses community interpreters across the U.S. and in other countries. We regularly train bilingual staff as well as contract interpreters. We also provide training and consulting services to private companies, non-profits and government agencies. Our programs are grounded in a mixture of theory and practical, hands-on activities.
The Community Interpreter® International, or TCII, is a 40-hour certificate training program for interpreters who are just starting out or those experienced interpreters who are looking for a recognized qualification. Subjects covered include the interpreting code of ethics and standards of practice in order to give participants a solid grounding in the profession. This is complemented by practical, hands-on activities such as role-plays and interactive group discussions. The program fulfills the 40-hour training requirements considered by many (certifying bodies employers and industry associations) to be the minimum needed to entire the field.
At the moment, a combination of two CCC programs fulfills this requirement: Medical Terminology for Interpreters (7.5 hours) and The Community Interpreter® International. Since TCII is open to all community interpreters and the subject matter covers education and social services as well as medical interpreting, at the end of each TCII session any participant who is seeking medical interpreter certification will be given a letter from CCC, stating the number of hours that can be counted towards this requirement. Typically 34-36 hours count towards the 40 hour requirement.
Yes, although the CE credits offered for each program will vary according to course length and content. Our programs are currently approved for continuing education credits by the following organizations:
