CPD

I believe investing in my professional development benefits my clients as I am continuously honing my skills as a translator and developing subject knowledge. CPD is also a requirement to retain my Chartered Linguist (Translator) status and is strongly encouraged by the Institute of Translation and Interpreting. Examples of CPD I undertake include:

• Attending formal workshops, both in person and online, to work on translation, editing and language skills
• Attending translation conferences,
• Being part of a translation revision club with a couple of colleagues working in the same language pair, which involves meeting up online to discuss our translations of the same text,
• Attending webinars on a wide range of subjects,
• Informal networking with colleagues,
• Reading books, magazines, newspapers and listening to the radio and podcasts in French.

I am a firm believer in helping the next generation of translators. I have taken part in ITI mentoring schemes and I have also given presentations at a local secondary school and a sixth form college about my work and working with languages more generally.
