I am looking for information about any short or online course for training interpreters in the UK. Unfortunately I live in Glasgow so it is not convenient for me to do a full postgrad, nor do I have the money.

DPSI (Doploma in Public Service Interpreting) Apr 20, 2009

Hi,

Global Language Services in Glasgow used to provide some sort of DPSI training.
I had a quick look at their website but can't find the details.

They are also an official examination centre for both the Diploma in Translation (listed in the Charted Institute of Linguists list of external examination centres).

Probably best to contact them directly or else you can contact the Chartered Institute of Linguists for a list of course providers.

DPSI - valid outside the UK? Apr 20, 2009

Due to the nature of the exam topics I have always assumed it was not and I plan on working abroad.
Thanks
