Together, Access Alliance (Toronto) and Somerset West (Ottawa) worked with the Alliance to create online training content that would be thorough, credible, and relevant to the context of interpreting in health care. [...] The involvement of the Alliance was vital for the credibility of the content, leveraging the subject matter expertise of their privacy training lead. [...] We, then, made the content relevant to the contexts and challenges of community interpreting. [...] The collaborative aspect of the co-design illustrates the efficiency that can be achieved by avoiding a duplication of effort and the added richness of content from multiple sources, relevant to a wider learner audience. [...] An online asynchronous delivery makes the course easily accessible to interpreters who face time and travel challenges as independent contractors, and paves the way to position the course as a standard training for interpreters based or working remotely in Ontario.
