Community Interpreting Courses
We now offer accredited Level 3 Community Interpreting Courses. The course is divided into three units. You can choose just one or two of the units, or you can take all three for the full qualification.
- Community Interpreting
- Public Services and Interpreting
- Setting Up as a Community Interpreter
Our next course is running in Worcester, but there are plans to offer the course in other parts of the country. If you would be interested in attending one of our courses, please email us with your contact details. We can then inform you when there will be a course running near you.

"We had a great opportunity to visit the Magistrate’s Court and see an interpreter working in the court. We also met a Magistrate, who told us many interesting things about his work and the role of an interpreter in court. This was very interesting session."

"Today I learned the steps to become a small entrepreneur. It is a bit scary and exciting at the same time. I have to come up with an action plan to be able to succeed. Once again it only proves that it requires a lot of time and sacrifice to make it in this field and become a real pro. I’d better get to work quickly. Next step CV and Action Plan."
