Im seriously considering going through the DPSI so that I can get more work, but I cant find much information on what exactly is in the test without spending a fortune buying past papers. Can any help by letting me know what kind of things I would be tested on or has anyone got any past papers which I could have a copy of?

Thanks

Peter

Given that the DPSI is a graduate diploma and provides access into the field of interpreting and does not take 3 or 4 years like a BA it is not expensive at all (see NQF level 6).

If you would tell us more about your qualifications and experience, we might be able to advice you better.

Have a look here, there are a few past papers there, plus list of topics, dig deep on the iol.org.uk website and you shall find.
