These training modules are designed to provide the interpreter with general standards required to be successful at video remote interpreting (VRI). Modules 1-3 provide the learner with important information needed to respond to scenarios in Module 4. Therefore, it is important that the user complete them in order, since each one builds on the last.
Please note that there is an FAQ available for the VRI Resource Center project, Interpreter Support, and Online VRI Training Modules, which you can access in PDF format here.
