FAQs
Is this webinar suitable for me?
If you are an interpreting student or a professional interpreter who hasn't done much note-taking before, this webinar is suitable for you.
If you're an experienced interpreter but you need to refresh your memory and review the basics of note-taking, or you were never taught the principles and techniques, this webinar is also for you!
If you regularly do consecutive or have a good grasp of note-taking technique and are looking for advice on advanced consecutive/advanced note-taking, this webinar is NOT suitable.
What will you cover?
Among other things, I'll talk about:
- how to structure your notes to reflect the structure and logic of the speech
- symbols - how to develop them, how many you need, how to adapt them
- how to personalise your notes
What if I can't attend live?
Don't worry, I'll make the replay available for six months.
