Wrap-Up

If you have questions, please contact Application Support.

We wish we could accept each person who applies to the GTC 6-month track, but we know we will likely have more applications than spaces available. If you apply but are not accepted, you will still have access to all of the public resources made available by the CATIE Center to guide you in your ongoing development of your interpreting skills.

We anticipate notifying all applicants by April 30, 2020.
