I´m looking to refresh my conference (simultaneous) interpreting skills with some kind of intensive (short) course for conference interpreters.
During my studies as translator/interpreter I had been trained in simultaneous and consecutive interpreting, but haven´t worked as an interpreter until very recently, when I did some voluntary interpreting.

During my studies as translator/interpreter I had been trained in simultaneous and consecutive interpreting, but haven´t worked as an interpreter until very recently, when I did some voluntary interpreting.
I´m not interested in doing postgraduate studies for a whole academic year, but rather in a one/two week(s) or maybe a month long intensive course to get into simultaneous interpreting again.
If someone knows where I could take such a course in Scotland (Edinburgh or Glasgow) that would be brilliant, however, I would also consider moving to London for up to a month.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Manuela,
Sounds like this course is made for you: http://www.cciconline.net/ Pretty dear though.
ITI organises two-day courses in January in Leeds, at least they organised it last January and as far as I understand this is a sort of annual training event. I attended the course eventhough I am not a member of ITI and it is very good, but too short in my opinion to refresh the skil... See more Hi Manuela,

Hi Manuela
I am very interested in your enquiry as I am in a similar situation.
I am from South Africa and during my stay in Edinburgh until the end of 2008 I would like to attend some courses/training in interpreting.
I have been unable to find something yet. Better luck from your side?
Heriot-Watt had a good course in August, and what they have planned for this term does not include Portuguese (my language).
Regards
Virginia

Hello.
Thank you for opening this topic. I am also interested in simultaneous/conference interpreting. I graduated University of Foreign Languages (the faculty of English linguistics, bachelor and master) in my country, Azerbaijan in 2005. Since that time I have been working as a translator and consecutive itnerpreter. But it is evident for me that self-learning the principles and rules also techniques of interpreting (both consecutive and simultaneous) will be very difficult. I am interes... See more Hello.
Thank you for opening this topic. I am also interested in simultaneous/conference interpreting. I graduated University of Foreign Languages (the faculty of English linguistics, bachelor and master) in my country, Azerbaijan in 2005. Since that time I have been working as a translator and consecutive itnerpreter. But it is evident for me that self-learning the principles and rules also techniques of interpreting (both consecutive and simultaneous) will be very difficult. I am interested in maximum 1-1.5 year course of conference.
My questions are: can I apply to master degree in simultaneous interpreting without bachelor degree in translation?
I am 32. Is it possible for me to benefit from any scholarship to get education in UK?
I am grateful for your answers in advance. ▲ Collapse
