Initial Interpreter Training

The Interpreting Pathways Level 6 Diploma in Sign Language Interpreting & Translation aims to take you to the point of readiness for work as a registered qualified interpreter or translator.

Our expert team of interpreting teachers and assessors will support you through all stages of the programme, with additional input from specialist trainers in particular subject areas. We offer extensive teaching and assessment hours to enhance your learning and assist you in your entry to practice as professional interpreters and translators. Our training is characterised by an emphasis on detailed feedback at all stages of the programme, in order to suit your individual learning and development.
