New to interpreting?

Cintra runs interpreter training courses for foreign language speakers who are interested in becoming interpreters.  Our specially devised training courses teach the ethics of interpreting and essential techniques and knowledge required in interpreting across languages and cultures. 

The courses are highly practice-oriented, focusing on skill development and problem-solving.  They typically specialise in health, local government or law to prepare candidates for public sector interpreting.
