Interpreter Professional Development Opportunities
Does your organization offer continuing education events related to community interpreting?
APPLY HERE TO HAVE YOUR INTERPRETER EDUCATION EVENT RECOGNIZED FOR ACI PD HOURS
The OCCI will assess your event for eligibility as an on-going professional educational opportunity* through which OCCI-ACI accredited interpreters may earn Professional Development Hours required for the renewal of their accreditation. Please allow at least three to four weeks for your application to be reviewed. *On-going/continuing education is considered by the OCCI as distinct from core competency training. To apply to have a core competency training program recognized by the OCCI, please email education@occi.ca directly.
Eligible events will be listed here.
NAVIGATING THE LISTING:
Use the scroll at the right side (under the arrow) to see more events, and at the bottom to scroll right for more details.
Use the search field to filter results by Upcoming, title key words, host names, modality.
You can also sort by any of the headers. Links are not currently hyperlinks - please copy and past the link into your browser's address bar to see event site (scroll over to the right to see links) .
Please note: Where the cost is in US$, the course content will most likely reflect U.S. interpreting standards and regulations. While we strongly encourage interpreters to explore as many PD opportunities as possible, please be sure to familiarize yourself with the differences between Canadian and U.S. standards and regulations so as to contextualize course content.
