Interpreter Professional Development Online Courses
Announcing Online Professional Development Interpreter Training Courses
University of West Florida (UWF) Division of Continuing Education
http://uwf.edu/
Beginning August 2009, the UWF Division of Continuing Education will be offering courses designed to assist ASL Interpreters in preparing for national certification and earning CEUs. All courses will be delivered online and include active discussions of the material, live, online video
discussions with the instructor, and a variety of online tools to assist
participants and improve their understanding of the material.
The first two courses, Fundamentals of Interpreting I & II, assist in preparing participants to take the NIC written exam. They will be taught and facilitated by Terri Schisler, M. Ed., CI & CT beginning Fall 2009. These courses will use the text, So You Want to be an Interpreter. Each course is 8 weeks.
CEUs are available by submitting paperwork and a nominal fee to the Florida Registry of Interpreters (FRID). Instructions and forms for CEUs will be provided upon registration. CEUs are optional and are the responsibility of the participant to submit all fees and paperwork prior to the start of the class.
