Does anyone know of any interpreting courses in the UK or Europe? I have a post graduate degree in translating and speak French fluently, but I'd like some additional training before launching myself as an interpreter. Does anyone know of any courses? The only ones I can find are combined translating and interpreting courses and I've already completed the translating component. Does anyone also have any general advice about getting into interpreting? Thanks in advance. Sarah

I have I have read you comment on the forum about your attendance to the above course last September. As I am contemplating attending the same course in the new year, I'd be very interested in your feedback.

Interpreting course Nov 12, 2005

I'm pleased to say that I can highly recommend this course.
It is given to a small group of people (8) in a professional business environment. The lecturer was highly competent, both as an interpreter and as a teacher. She told us about different types of courts, different types of hearings, the court procedure, oath of affirmation, where to sit or stand, etc. We received an interpreter's diary and a huge file with the presentation, an extensive glossary, useful addresses and references.

In the afternoon, a magistrate gave us a talk with even more information about courts and hearings. Overall, an extremely useful course that will make me feel much better equipped to deal with difficult situations in the future.
