    Nigel is a master!! He makes medical interpreting look so easy. Then you practice and see how hard it is. He is such a natural. I have enjoyed his workshops immensely. I would definitely take more workshops from this presenter. He is amazing!!

    …The workshop was filled again with knowledge of the subject and how to best show it asl. Challenging, but gave us a chance to practice, ask questions in a non-judgemental, safe environment. I will without a doubt attend more workshops of Nigel's, and TerpAcademy made the whole process smooth. Thank you all!!!!
