I have acquired interpreting-related qualifications in both Finland and Japan. In 2013 I acquired the Vocational Qualification for Community Interpreters, authorized by the Finnish National Board of Education. In 2016, during my sojourn in Japan, I completed a year-long training for medial interpreters organised by Osaka University and acquired the association Japanese national qualification for medical interpreters in 2021 as soon as it became available.
