Overview

Embark on a journey through the fascinating realm of conference interpreting with our online Conference Interpreting Diploma. Designed to equip learners with the expertise needed to thrive in the professional world of interpreting, this comprehensive course seamlessly combines theory with hands-on practice, offering a balanced mix of foundational knowledge and advanced skills development.

The course commences with an ‘Introduction to Conference Interpreting’, establishing the backdrop for aspiring interpreters. Learners will grasp the intricacies of the profession, understand its demands, and get acquainted with the varied settings where interpreting is essential.

Moving forward, the ‘Art of Simultaneous Interpreting’ provides a deep understanding of this challenging yet rewarding style of interpreting. The fast-paced nature of simultaneous interpreting requires sharp reflexes and quick thinking, and this module ensures learners are adequately prepared for it.

‘Consecutive Interpreting Explained’ demystifies another vital mode of interpreting. Unlike simultaneous interpreting, consecutive interpreting allows for a brief pause between the speaker’s words and the interpreter’s translation. This section ensures that learners master this method, balancing accuracy with efficiency.

Every profession is guided by a code of ethics, and interpreting is no exception. ‘Interpreter Ethics and Professionalism’ educates learners on the ethical standards of the industry, ensuring that they maintain utmost professionalism in their interactions and translations.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
