New IS Conference Interpreter training intensive course

January 23, 2020

A new ‘booster’ course will be offered at Heriot-Watt University in June as a way to try and ‘boost’ numbers of IS interpreters to work at conferences and high-level meetings:

8-12 June 2020

We are delivering this in partnership with EU Directorate General of Interpretation (SCIC) and UN Geneva, and have developed the content in collaboration with WFD, WASLI, efsli, EUD and Overseas Interpreting.

We would like you to circulate this information for anyone that you think may be interested. We are targeting people who are not yet accredited, but if you feel you would like more training yourself you are welcome to apply.
