Benefit from expert guidance through the Mentoring Program

Participants are free to determine their own frequency and means of contact. The mentoring program is not intended to be a substitute for formal instruction in the techniques of translation or interpretation, and the mentor is not obligated to review or correct the work of the mentee.
Prepare for and take the ATA Certification exam
