Most courses are offered regularly throughout the year giving you flexibility and convenience. Certificates of Attendance are issued upon completion of each course at your request. 

Our short courses are suitable for:

• Recent graduates or newly certified practitioners of translation and interpreting wishing to improve their confidence and work-readiness in making the transition into practice
  

• Persons who have little or no experience in interpreting and translation including speakers of new and emerging languages who would like to learn basic skills of interpreting and translation with the goal of sitting an examination​
  

• Certified practicing interpreters and translators to gain specialised skills and knowledge to effectively deliver language services in specific sectors.
  

​The courses are delivered by highly qualified and experienced practitioners who also hold training/teaching qualifications. 

All courses provide direct input from practitioners and our guest speakers which enhances the experiential learning aspect of the courses. As a result, participants are well prepared to understand the challenges of interpreting and translation in the relevant setting; to use the skills and tools required to perform in a professional manner and to incorporate the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct in their practice. 

​Emphasis is given to the areas of the relevant sector where interpreters are most engaged. Language and vocabulary development also feature in our courses.
