Refer a Friend to Foundations

Refer a Friend, and Share the Wealth

If you have enjoyed the Foundations of Interpreting Processes from the Bilingual Mediation Center, consider sharing the benefits! Refer a friend who has not taken Foundations before, and if they complete a Foundations seminar before Dec 31, 2022, each of you can receive a $50-voucher for a subsequent training.

To claim your vouchers, the referred friend should go to the Bilingual Mediation Center Help Desk and submit a ticket under the 'Refer a Friend' Promotion. They should include:

their name
their email address
the seminar they attended, along with the date
the name of the person who referred them
the email address of the person who referred them

If you have any questions, contact us through the Help Desk. Simple as that!

So, how many people can you refer to Foundations?

Questions about Links and Schedule

Click on Select Category and choose the appropriate topic to contact BMC for help on these issues:

You didn't get the Zoom link. (Emails are sent several days before the seminar from This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Check your spam folder or your 'promotions' tab in gmail. Better still, add that email to your contacts so emails arrive to your inbox.)

You're unable to attend a session of a seminar. (Foundations seminars sometimes have two tracks running simultaneously. If you have a conflict arise, request moving to the other track for a session rather than missing out on it. Each session builds on the next. Attendance is required for each session.)
