Know Your Worth is a series of courses and consulting services centered on “how interpreters recognize and demonstrate their own value.” Its core focus is not interpreting techniques themselves, but marketing, negotiation, client communication, pricing, and business operations. The website describes it as “the shortest, most effective MBA for interpreters.” The main instructor is Julia Poger, who has a master’s degree in conference interpreting from MIIS and lists affiliations such as ATA and AIIC.
Its core online seminar is divided into four modules: Mindset, You, Clients, and Money, covering mindset shifts, personal differentiation and value, understanding client needs, and fee negotiation. The course consists of four interactive live sessions of about 2 to 2.5 hours each, with a maximum of 12 participants and a minimum of 4. Sessions are not recorded for replay. Other offerings include the Learn to Speak “Client” client communication workshop, a negotiation course on handling AI-driven price pressure, a recorded social media course, one-on-one social media profile audits, business coaching, and consecutive interpreting courses. The FAQ states that participants receive a certificate after completing the seminar, listing the course name, hours, and participant name.
Pricing is relatively transparent: the core online seminar costs €275 excluding tax, the client communication workshop costs €50 excluding tax, the AI negotiation course costs €175, and the three-item bundle costs €425 excluding tax. One-on-one business coaching is €150 per hour excluding tax, and a 6-hour coaching day costs €550 excluding tax. There is also a free trial class, but the website does not specify payment methods or refund arrangements.
The main advantage is its highly niche positioning, targeting common pain points for freelance interpreters such as client relationships, price negotiation, and market positioning. The small-group interactive format and practical exercises make it easier to apply the content to individual client cases. It also provides a community, mailing list, and LinkedIn group for ongoing connections. The downsides are that the core live course has no recordings, the schedule is based on CET/CEST, which is not very friendly for learners in China, some courses require a minimum number of participants, and the core online seminar is explicitly not suitable for absolute beginners who have never worked before.
It is better suited to interpreters, conference interpreters, and language service professionals who already have clients, are currently taking assignments, or are preparing to shift from language skills toward running an independent business. If the goal is to systematically learn foundational interpreting skills, this program is not the main track; if the goal is to improve quoting, client communication, and pressure-resistant negotiation skills, it is a strong fit.
The review text does not provide information about website accessibility, and the domain and service dependencies cannot be assessed, so china_access is rated as unknown. Learners in China should pay particular attention to confirming the registration process, payment methods, taxes and fees, time zone, and whether they can reliably attend the live sessions.
