Training courses

We run a variety of interpreting training courses in different geographical locations, from introductory courses to preparation for the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI).

For our Cintra-registered interpreters, we offer continuing professional development courses, interpreter support meetings and other professional support.
