confidently make such decisions, whether they are transfer decisions or
decisions about the multilayered relationships and dynamics involved in
interpreting situations.

Thank you for the webinar Research Skills yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it
and found it very informative. Yuri Kamada
Many thanks for your information. Your presentation was excellent and I will
pass on your company details to my fellow colleagues. Elaine Cheang
I would just like to thank both of you, for the presence of energy, knowledge,
interesting issues, discussions and dynamic speakers that were there
throughout the course; all of which had certainly enhanced my personal PD
immensely. What made it even better was that I actually enjoyed myself! I
look forward to coming back for more in the future. Minh Minh Bui
Courses of this type help the interpreters to widen their knowledge and to
share their experiences
