This course is intended for interpreters working towards taking the interpreting accreditation test for the EU and/or UN institutions, or qualified interpreters who wish to develop their interpreting skills further. Depending on the demand, the languages offered are French, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish. Please note we need a minimum of two students with the same language combination before we can confirm the language pathway is open. All language combinations are in and out of English.
The course includes 14 two-hour sessions which take place on Thursdays from 4.45pm to 6.45pm. The sessions run from October until the end of May. Classes are scheduled every two weeks. A calendar of set dates is provided to candidates when they join the course.
Applicants need to be graduates with a postgraduate qualification in conference interpreting from a university that closely works with the EU and the UN. For the UK, this includes graduates from the universities of Bath, Leeds and Manchester.
Applicants need to send their CV with a short statement describing their professional objectives and motivation to join the course.
The course is ideal for interpreters who are trained in conference interpreting but lack recent practice or interpreting students who wish to understand and practice techniques when interpreting for talks, negotiations, interviews and other meetings, formal or informal.
Each two-hour session is practical and takes place in the interpreting suite situated at our Moorgate campus. The interpreting suite includes six spacious booths with all recording facilities. The interpreting suite is equipped with a Brahler digital interpreting system.
