This table lists all of our offerings – courses, exams and certificates. For more details on any course – click on the course name.  Not all the courses are on our schedule yet and some were custom made for particular purposes but could be revived.

Take as much as you want… Some people want to study every facet of their profession and take every available course. Some people are curious about the profession or the process and explore it in depth. Some people want to become accredited to work in court and therefore have to develop a portfolio of credentials.

…or as little as you need. Some people need to take an occasional course to meet the professional development requirements of their association. Some people have been working for years as interpreters but feel a bit uncomfortable about some aspect of their job performance. Other people don’t even want to be interpreters but need to know how interpreters function as part of their job.

Course numbering often gives a clue as to which department originated each course. When a course is required by a program outside the department which first created it the course number is retained.

“Consecutive:” means consecutive interpreting – often shortened to “Consec”.

“Simultaneous:” means simultaneous interpreting  – normally cut down to just plain “Simo”.

“Lectures” are all delivered in English. Normally they are very interactive in that there are a lot of questions. and answers floating around.

“Tutorials” are bilingual in English and your other language. They start with a short lecture but are primarily interpreting sessions based on real life scenarios.
