RSI has been around for quite a while now. As conference interpreters we all had to adjust and add another set of skills to our toolbox in order to go remote. Who knew being tech-savvy would become so crucial?
However, although some time has passed and a lot of us are now comfortable interpreting on different platforms, challenges remain. We end up finding ourselves in situations where we feel like we don't know how to make technology work well enough to do our jobs properly.
Take Zoom, for instance. Have you ever experienced difficulty logging into a meeting or being assigned to the booth? Wondered why a bell would ring in the background every once in a while and not know how to fix it? Heard from a client that your high-end setup was actually producing bad sound quality? Failed to understand why your vacation picture was on display for hundreds and hundreds of attendees to see? Well, then you've come to the right place.
In this webinar that comes packed with examples, you'll learn how to fix most significant problems common to interpreting in Zoom. You’ll also gain insight into important information to share with your clients, and we’ll identify red flags you should pay attention to before an event in order to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible, as these and many other problems are easy to fix—and avoid—as long as you understand how the system works and incorporate a few best practices into your routine.
Learning objectives
After attending this webinar, the participant will be able to:
Use different methods to successfully log into a Zoom meeting.
Check and adjust your audio settings (and help meeting speakers do the same).
Use Zoom's relay feature or avoid it altogether with a simple workaround.
Learn advanced tips that will make your job easier while leading to more efficient, reliable interpreting.
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:
