ATA's Certification Exam
Preparation Workshop in Boston

Remote simultaneous interpreting
in conference settings is becoming
a widespread practice in Spain
as it is elsewhere. Seasoned
interpreters used to the traditional
conference environment may
see it as a threat to their working
conditions, but is it?

Training has always been an
important part of ATA's mission.
Organizers wanted to see if a fullday workshop led by graders of
ATA's Certification Program could
successfully benefit both exam
candidates and the program.

If the demand for translation is
increasing, along with opportunities
for people with advanced
language skills, why are many
professional freelance translators
having difficulty finding work that
compensates translation for what
it is-a time-intensive, complex
process that requires advanced,
unique, and hard-acquired skills?
